I am a comic creator and author from Wiltshire, England. My aim as an artist is to create a safe space for people who do not have that in their reality. My comic is based around the story of a transgender boy and his queer friends, a scenario not dissimilar to my own experiences in school.
My biggest inspirations are Alice Oseman (author of Heartstopper) and Mal Marwood (author of Charity Case). Heartstopper was the very first comic I ever read which made me want to create my own because of all the amazing LGBTQ+ and mental health representation in it! I also love Charity Case because of the positive transgender and polyamory portrayals plus its beautifully painted pages.
​
I am proudly autistic, non-binary/trans, demisexual, demiromantic and overall queer!
I am also writing a novel about a neurodivergent teenager because I have not read a single book with an autistic character in who wasn't stereotyped. It is important for the media to show that being different is not completely cloaked in darkness and that although these people do struggle, their view of the world is bright.
​
I hope my illustrations provide the acceptance young, queer and autistic people do not receive.
Most of my art is based around my webcomic characters but I do occasionally post random sketches/other characters I have from other works. I am interested in fantasy worlds and Sci-Fi too so I also draw characters from these environments from time to time on my social media. I'm also working on my romantasy and contemporary novels!
