About
I was born on what I’d like to think was a dark and stormy night way back in ‘81, to a shrink mother and academic father…which probably explains a lot. I went on to study Psychology and Sociology at uni and began writing my first graphic stories after reading Daniel Clowe’s Ghost World and realising that comics don’t need to be about superheroes.
Since then my style’s evolved (although remains scribbley) and I now write mostly ‘creative autobiographies’; a name I coined to described the true tales I write that spiral into fantasy all too often. Some people would call them lies. I prefer ‘creative autobiographies’.
I now have a grown-up, part-time job as a creative advertiser in Soho, writing and art-directing press, poster and tv ads. In my sparse spare time I draw ’til my hand freezes into an arthritic claw. My fictional graphic story, ‘The Night I Lost My Love’ ran in The Times’s Times2 section. My autobiographical comic strip , ‘My Peculiar World’; was published at the back of The Guardian’s G2. I occasionally sell my work at comic conventions. Alternatively you can read all my comics for free under the Comics Stories and Comic Strips pages. Spend money or get it for free?.. Hmmm…I’ll leave you guys to mull over that one.
Enjoy.
