Comics

I’m currently working on an Arts Council funded project developing mised media collage comics about feminist art history. You can buy the first comic to come out of this project The Hands That Make on Gumroad here. Here are a few pages of how the project is shaping up so far:

My first Graphic Novel, Biscuits (Assorted) can be purchased from Myriad here. Or from your favourite book or comic shop. You can also get signed and personalised copies, and original page artwork, from my Etsy here.

Biscuits (assorted) won the Myriad First Graphic Novel Competition and also earned a Judges Mention from the Laydeez do Comics Prize for an in progress Graphic Novel this March (2018). You can read more about Biscuits here. 

New in November 2021, Poogurtory is a 32 page spinoff comic from Biscuits, presenting extracts from the virtual conversation of Danni and Rosa during the first year of the pandemic. It’s sort of about poo, but mostly about friendship. You can buy a physical edition here, and a digital version here. See a preview of the comic on Broken Frontier here.
