About Me

I'm a writer of comics, and hopefully one day very soon, novels of my very own, but, at the minute, I'm finding it every bit as difficult as it's rumoured to be.

I've been hawking my wares around the UK small press for a while, and had the good fortune to work with some unbelievably talented artists - the results of which you can see over at my ComicSpace page .
As of writing this little bit of text, some of my comic work has appeared in the Eagle Award nominated FutureQuake and its sister publication Something Wicked , and I've got a piece called Loose Ends appearing in the Accent UK anthology Robots out now (Previews order code: MAR083379 or buy it directly from Accent UK ). I'm currently working on a strip for their next anthology, Western, due in 2009, and some creator owned material.

More strips are due to appear in Fusion and Dogbreath at some point in the future. I've also had a few text pieces appear in various small press magazines.

More? You can find it here:

My Interests

Writing (which kind of helps, all things considered), music, movies, books, comics, generally talking bollocks in the pub, video games

I'd like to meet:

Considering what a surly and misanthropic bastard I am, the question should be: who wants to meet me?

I'd like to meet artists and writers, though. And editors willing to read my work. Or is that too desperate?
