Self Sabotage is a 28 page (mostly) black and white comic book zine that looks at the topic of mental health, success, creativity, community and what it means to be an artist. The comic will appeal to readers of Graphic Memoirs, Graphic Medicine and Perzines.
You can buy the comic here.
The story follows the creator of the comic as they discover what it means to be successful and if their own actions and mental health ruin their enjoyment of finding success. The idea of community and networking is explored in a visually exciting and experimental way. Some of the pages are ripped and destroyed. This presents the theme of self sabotage in an interesting and original method.
Self Sabotage will also appeal to people who like zines, perzines, queer zines and outsider art.
Zines Saved My Life is a 28-page comic book about zines. It explores mental health in a visual and exciting method that shows how important zines, art and communication are.

It is mainly in black and white, but also uses bursts of colour to fully expression the emotion and themes. Zines Saved My Life is personal and expressive and will connect with readers who love zines, comics and outsider art.

The story follows the creator as they look at how loudness and quietness has affected them and changed how they communicate with other people and their environment.

Awkward Silence is personal and expressive and will connect with readers who love zines, comics and outsider art.
Each copy is unique. The cover features hand stitching, where each individual copy has been sewn and hand bound.

I have a table at the Tokyo Art Book Fair this year. It is taking place in person and also online. I am taking part online!

Recently I tabled at the online Queer Zest Zine Fest. It was great to take part in another online zine fest. My table is still on the website
I didn’t have any new zines for sale, but I am hoping to have something new by the end of the year and for when zine fests happen in person again.
For the past few months I have been working on a new short animated documentary with the Scottish Documentary Institute. The title is Prosopagnosia and will have its Premiere at the Edinburgh International Film Festival this weekend. The trailer is below along with a synopsis.
Synopsis – Prosopagnosia is a story of identity that uses expressive animation to investigate intimacy, communication and memory.
Prosopagnosia is face-blindness and as a means of understanding this neurodiverse behaviour, the contents of a memory box are explored. Sketchbooks, photographs and diaries are intricately unraveled to tell a unique and personal story.
