My three comics are now at Northern Rivers Community Gallery, Ballina.

 ‘Byron Bay, a Time and Place’ is a comic about moving to Byron as a teenager in the early 90’s, ‘Octopus & Lamb’ is about animal rights and ‘The Book of Wonder’ is a collection of art and mini-comics.

The Northern Rivers Community Gallery has a wonderful gallery outlet with local and regional handmade art, craft and products. I feel honoured to be selected for their shop.

My comics as well as my petite zine ‘Curious Places I’ve Made Love’ are also available at Junky Comics- Brisbane, Sticky Institute- Melbourne and through my shop page, here on this website.

Huge thanks to the local media who’ve supported my comics & creativity in 2018. I’m so grateful: The Byron Shire News, The Echo, Bay FM, Byron Bazaar & ABC North Coast Radio. I’d also like to thank the USA podcast ‘The Comics Alternative’ for their petite review of my petite zine ‘Curious Places I’ve Made Love’, as well as the Australian Comics Journal for their coverage of the Ledger Awards (Australian Comics Awards) in which I was shortlisted.

I am very proud to announce my new comic ‘Octopus & Lamb’.
