Carved in Stone is officially out!
In this comprehensive setting guide you'll be able to see, touch, taste, hear and smell your way through everything that modern-day scholars currently know of the enigmatic culture of the Picts, from the perspective of someone living in the late 7th Century.

So sad to hear this, Quindrie had such a great impact on the Scottish comics scene and produced an incredible line-up of comics! Totally understandable though given how tough things are at the moment and how much work goes into keeping small publishers afloat. Will be missed and remembered fondly!💛
I have made the incredibly difficult decision to close down Quindrie Press at the end of 2026. Please read my full statement, along with information about what's next at Quindrie and an FAQ, here: quindriepress.com/closing

Big news! The Mind, Extended is out now!
Incredible cover artwork by @mortiscausa.bsky.social, who's captured the VR Combat bubble perfectly.
Near future speculative fiction about augmented reality that starts with the complete obliteration of capitalism in the UK...

Comics are things that anyone can and should make, just as much as writing or drawing are things that people can and should do if there's paper and pencils around. It's another way of expressing yourself and it should be fun. Just like writing and drawing.

Ooops the stars aligned (or misaligned) and I'm opening commissions for custom ceramics! Would you like a loaf tray of your pet? A babushcat? For me to remake a piece I made in the past that you missed out on? Or do you have a different idea? Email me and we can discuss it!

"my child could make this"
are they making it though? as in, do you let them? are they allowed to pursue art and the joy it provides? are they creating? its so hard to create nowadays. is your child given the abundance of freedom that creativity offers, or are they stifled by your judgemental mind?
