Scottish Independence Comic

Last year I drew this comic about my feelings on Scottish Independence.  It was meant to go into an anthology, but with that delayed and with the vote now just months away, I agreed with the editor that I should put it online.  I have presented them here in the page spread format that was originally intended for printing, so each jpeg is actually two pages side-by-side.

Or if you want to learn more about making comics, and live in Edinburgh, I have a comic course starting 8th May 2014... more about it here.

On Tumblr

I've just started up a Tumblr account to preview my new comic 'Grow'.  My account is here and will be updating with new strips tomorrow and Thursday as well.  You can find me here.

To show you what you're missing, I've included today's pages below, though the next two days will be Tumblr exclusives.

Grow - Tales of Parenthood

I'm pleased to announce that I am currently putting the finishing touches on my latest comic, which will be released on the 17th of November at the Thought Bubble comic festival in Leeds.

The comic is called 'Grow', and it gives my take on fatherhood.  It’s an honest but affectionate timelapse of my fledgeling family, taking us through pregnancy and the first six months of my son's life.  These strips portray the anxiety, frustration and happiness of becoming a parent, and those odd little moments of ill-timed projectile vomiting and unwanted dietary advice from homeless men.

I'll be selling the first copies at the convention, where you might be lucky enough to meet my wee one.  I'll be signing and sketching in copies, and if you like my son can chew/drool on them too. 

I'll make them available to buy online / possibly as a digital download, and in select comic shops later in November.

You can check out my previous autobio work '100 Tiny Moments...' here or buy it here.

Baby Comics III

A prequel to the previous haircut themed comic.

Baby Comics II

I'm enjoying drawing autobio comics again.  I think I might make a habit of it!

Baby Comics

My son Niven is 4 months old later this week.  At first I'd sworn that I wouldn't draw comics about becoming a dad, feeling it would just be too self-involved.  But, you know what?  After numerous requests, I've changed my mind.  It probably is still very self-involved, but you don't need to read them if you don't want to.
