Welcome

Drawing and writing about visual narrative. I began producing comic books in 1995. I have a passionate interest in the ways in which comic strips, the most nineteenth century of media, continue to provide opportunities for scrutinising word and image. I trained as a fine artist, establishing an international studio with American artist Christopher Sperandio in 1990, producing hundreds of projects and over forty books to date.
