Since 1995 I have been drawing and self-publishing comics. Comic creation is mainly a self-taught practice, I encourage it greatly. I have drawn comics both for myself and for other people since creating my own stories when at school.      

I won a place in Neo Magazine's Manga Competition plus Tokyopop's third UK and Ireland Rising Stars of Manga manga art competition. I am continually working on my own comic, 'Biomecha', and I have contributed numerous comics to comic anthologies, as well as creating one-shot comics such as 'Reluctant Soldier Princess Nami', which weirdly got namechecked in The Independent.

Many books which contain my work are available to order from Amazon or directly from the publisher (see my bibliography page for ISBNs to order).

Sweatdrop Studios

In 2001 I co-founded Sweatdrop Studios with three other fellow artist friends; a group of artists and writers who created, illustrated and printed Sweatdrop Studios members’ own original works. In the 2000s the group was heavily involved in in teaching and instruction, authoring many how-to-draw books for other publishers, writing online tutorials, providing product demonstrations and delivering workshops at events all around the UK.

The titles I published and anthology books I contributed to include;
