This is my "official" website where you can read all sorts of random stuff about me and I can pretend to be grown-up for a change.

How to Buy RIOT BOYYY


RIOT BOYYY, my illustrated young adult novel, is not yet available via physical or online booksellers (though I'm working on it). If you'd like a signed copy of RIOT BOYYY Part One, the best place to buy one is at my Etsy Shop.

You'll also find RIOT BOYYY merchandise on there, and some of my artwork too. Do feel free to buy as many items as you'd like 😉

If you'd like to know more about RIOT BOYYY, please read this page.

As a straight, white man, how can I add diversity to my work in a realistic, sensitive and respectful way? In my blog post for Notes from the Slushpile, I talk about exactly how I went about this process for my latest graphic novel.


My Comic Book Inspirations



As a child, I loved the British humour comics that dropped through my letterbox each week. In an article for SCBWI Words & Pictures, I talk about how these titles shaped my creative worldview as a writer and illustrator.
