I don’t think I’ll ever forget this feeling of all the love and support the kickstarter is getting (and some magical things coming in the future along with it too).

Thank you to everyone. This books a dream and to see it come to life is amazing

Guess who remembered his password! And I’m back with news… my new kickstarter for PORTER LOVES CLEO is live!!

It’s an adventure comic all about love, loss and how we say goodbye. It takes all the lessons I’ve learnt about grief and happiness.

This is my dream comic I’ve always wanted to share

#artvsartist for 2024! What a good year it’s been. To starting my masters in art education to having our book get funding!!

New friends. Many laughs and as always so much love.

Here’s hoping next year I get to keep doing what I do. And I am so lucky to be able to do what I do.

Happy new year!

What an amazing few days of the @smartbalbriggan and @scealcollective HOW ITS MADE exhibit demystifying IOTs.

I was delighted when I was asked to be involved and even more so when they trusted me and my idea for IOT comic strips breaking down the concept.

Me and my friend started a simpsons comics club in our masters programme so that we’re not always just working and also having fun too. We made this little poster to share with our pals to get em interested (based of the fantastic Bart Simpson 24 cover)

My end of year look back at the art I’ve made. With 2 magazines, 2 comics in print and 3 comics unseen, 6 zines and roughly 55 comic strips as well as my work with the festivals and what not it’s been one hell of a year for art! Thanks again to everyone who supports and enjoys!!

Found out I got nominated for a town award today for my work in the arts for my town. I can’t believe it.
