I\u2019m an illustrator, designer, comic artist and writer living in Bristol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My current projects include St. Vincent’s Rock<\/em>, the Ort<\/em> wordless comics, and a series of graphic adaptations of the songs of Georges Brassens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I’m interested in the capacity of drawing to communicate information and emotion. My narrative work is informed by experience in UI design, game development and pre-production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I’ve illustrated over 70 books and co-created with Eugene Byrne several book-length comics. Darwin: a graphic biography<\/em> has been published in translation around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As a speaker I’ve created and presented talks and workshops in schools, bookshops, libraries and prison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some of my most fruitful projects have been private commissions, which I still do when time allows.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I\u2019m an illustrator, designer, comic artist and writer living in Bristol.
