I want to make a difference with comics

You can get a good idea of the kind of work I enjoy by looking through this site, and my blog. For your convenience, though, here’s a list of topics I’d be most likely to jump at working on:

• Travel or documentary pieces
• Slice of life, oral histories
• Work that furthers social causes
• Work that helps the climate
• Protest
• Fashion
• Pop culture
• I’m also really interested in street art

I draw comics, write excellent prose, and am happy to illustrate the words of others.

Subjects I have some expertise in include: Freedom of Information, civic technology, democracy, activism, the climate emergency, British life, being middle aged, being the parent of a teen, the Eighties, Brighton, cats, veggie food, the comics community…

… but I am also a fast learner and if a topic is interesting, I will dig right in until I know everything about it.

I often draw from my own experience

It’s my belief that universal truth is found in the most personal experiences. My best way into a story is by experiencing it myself, or considering where it has touched my life.

You probably ought to know that I:

• dislike car culture
• don’t eat meat
• eschew brands that do harm to society or the environment

If you’ve got a project in mind and you think my work would suit it, do get in touch.
