Hi #portfolioday! I'm a comic writer from the UK. While I don't yet have a portfolio, last year I made the scary (stupid?) decision to start making comics. I've got two things launching in November: A story in a sci-fi/horror anthology, and a Kickstarter for a fantasy comedy! Links for both below!

I like drawing lots of things- for me with comics, the puzzle is the challenge, making the storytelling carry emotion whilst also doing everything the story needs. Here's some sequentials (three of which coloured by Jordie Bellaire, one about to be).
Everything tells a story.

If you need help editing your book, be it prose, poetry or comics, she's your woman!

(And at very reasonable rates might I add)

Created this page after gallons of blood, sweat and tears (and math, significantly more painful than the fluids)✨️. On track to getting that personal website going as well. Context: You give me a script. I use my nerdy degree and worldly experience to edit it. Comics welcome!

I draw book covers, if you would like one, you can email me. This one is a dust cover, so front, back, flaps. It was a challenge to think of an idea that would cover the ground that Adrian does. It is a *device*, based on one of the stories. So, specific, maximal and general, all at the same time.

Coming soonish from Subterranean Press - the first collection of my short fiction in about a decade - here's the cover (by @alisonsampson.bsky.social ) and table of contents for your delectation.

Book cover showing the glass bubble of a space helmet with a woman's face and hand reflected in it, and ants crawling over it.
