I was asked by @scottishbooktrust.bsky.social to adapt a short story by Aileen MacAlister into a comic to celebrate the release of the Book Week Scotland collection.

It’s about friendship. And losing a parent. It was a privilege to adapt it.

The big Thought Bubble debut is my latest poetry comic with @chrissywilliams.bsky.social which is riso printed in 4 colours and looks absolutely lush (though I may be biased).

You can read an unbiased review of it on @brokenfrontier.bsky.social here: www.brokenfrontier.com/i-know-the-w...

It’s been 10 years since tabling solo. I’m excited to return to the most important festival in the UK comics calendar, but also surprisingly anxious.

Come find me at COMIXOLOGY HALL C36 and give me an encouraging pat on the back.

A few people have started commenting that I must be a massive Matthew Lillard fan and it’s only just dawned on me quite how much I’ve drawn him.

I illustrated this excellent piece by Katie Goh for @natlibscot.bsky.social about libraries in pop culture. Was extremely fun to get to draw the Scooby Gang! Can someone hire me to draw a Willow comic please?

Suleiman al-Obeid, the “Pele” of Palestinian football, was killed over the weekend.

Last year, in August 2024, I made a comic about Palestinian athletes being killed in Gaza by the IOF.

Sickening that this is still happening and our government is complicit.
