Sketchbook Zine
A zine collecting my drawings and doodles from various places. I started putting this together after I finished my MA, just to prove to myself that I still drew things and made art! It made me feel better seeing it altogether, and people have been really happy to see these at art fairs which is also a nice feeling for me!
Poetry in a Landscape
A collection of my poetry matched with my illustrations. I've been branching out more into writing poetry since my MA, it is sometimes a nice breather away from longer writing projects, and lets me explore different and stranger themes faster!
​
One of my favourites in this zine is a poem inspired by the game 'DELTARUNE'.
Feathers of a Falling Star
The project probably most near and dear to my heart. This is a fantasy novella, with accompanying illustrations by me.
The story primarily explores physical disability, anger and grief. Kami, a dog-headed, travelling sorcerer seeks out animal spirits across the land; determined to atone for their sins. When a mystical comet is relvealed, Kami is determined to be there when it skims over the earth, changing their life forever.
First started as the major project for my MA, I have been slowly chipping away at the story, turning it from a novella to a full novel. One day (soon?!) I hope to have a full, fleshed out new draft to put out into the world. In the mean time i have had limited runs for sale at art fairs of the first printed draft finished on my MA. It means very much to me that people have connected with and bought these copies, enjoying the story and the characters even in this slightly unfinished state!
It is very much inspired by the writings of Ursula K. Le Guin.
'MARTYR' Comic
A comic from my time at university, made with access to Falmouth University's amazing print rooms!
Inspired by the often weird and gruesome martyrs that I had heard of in Christianity.
I wanted to make my own, but also explore ideas around believing in something that has never helped you, or was never even there...at least in my personal explorations/beliefs.
I'm still very happy with the style and outcome of these linocuts; scrappy and kind of violent in their red ink and printed letters...I think it helps with the emotions of the comic.
Palliate Essay Zine
My Critical Publication from my MA released as a zine. This explores my own experiences with disability, matched with my research into physical disability and anger, something I didn't think was talked about often enough.
I was very proud of how this came out, and it's a topic that will always interest me and I want to share with people.
This is also why I am really happy to say that this zine has resonated well with readers at art fairs!
I hope it can help people to understand more complex emotional areas of physical disability, and maybe also make disabled people feel less alone.
​
All of my sources are included in the back of this zine for further reading on the topic too!
'Sculpture Park'
Collaboration Zine
A collaboration zine set up and organised by me. This started because I really wanted a space for quirky, playful sculpture and figurine pieces to be featured together.
​
I wanted it to have the vibe of a toy catalogue, one of the ones you would get near christmas and circle all the things you wanted from it!
​
I hope to keep making new issues of this over time.

Upcoming Comic!
These are some sketches of the main character from my newest comic, which I want to print and take to art fairs when finished.
​
I was very inspired by all the brilliant comics in this year's 'Short Box' fair, particularly 'Despite, Despite, Despite' by C. Lemieux, which I thought was such a beautiful, heartfelt comic.
​
This comic is a little inspired by it, and trying to find joy and love in a difficult life.
​
The main character is called Penelope, featured in these sketches. She works as a Receptionist.
