I've been drawing comics since I was a kid. When I moved to London in 1994, I got involved in the queer comics/zines scene and self published a couple of comics called Pear Shaped Boy.
In the last year, several commissions have come my way. Need some drawing done? Just drop me a line!
This is a detail from a strip called "Transfatty" which will be in a book called Fat Studies UK published by Raw Nerve Books and edited by Corinna Tomrley and Ann Kaloski-Naylor. Once the book is out, I'll put the complete strip up here.
I was asked to illustrate a page of The Novel of Nonel and Vovel, a graphic novel collaboration by London-based, Israeli-born artist Oreet Ashery and Copenhagen-based, Palestinian-born artist Larissa Sansour, addressing art, politics and the future of Palestine. Published by Charta in October 2009. Again, this is just a detail for now.
These illustrations, for a story by Ingo, appeared in the Transfriendly zine.
I've drawn flyers for various Transfabulous events
.If you want to know more about these events, have a look the Transfabulous archive.
The comic strips I draw are usually autobiographical but not always..
