40 years of Fun

I thought it might be time to post this list again to document most of the work I've had published over the past 40 years. It's not entirely complete as I'm sure I've forgotten some but it gives you an idea of the range of professional publications I've freelanced for.

I've created comic strips for all ages from pre-school (CiTV Tellytots), juvenile (Buster, Beano, Dandy) through to adult (Viz). 

If you're an editor in the comics industry and would like to talk to me about a commission, please contact me at:

I'm busy right now but will be free sometime in February/March for work. Thanks for reading!

Obviously some strips I've worked on lasted ran for longer than others. 16 years on Team Toxic, 10 years on Tom Thug, 4 years on Combat Colin, and so on but all in all it's a lot of ink and a lot of typing! Thanks to everyone for being there for part of the journey if not all of it.
