STATEMENT
I make short autobiographical comics about impactful moments in my life. These stories often focus on the awkward or humorous, such as going speed dating, getting an STI or visiting the doctor about a mysterious blemish. This dialogue with my personal life is the basis for the paintings I create in the studio. In my latest exhibition called Adam & Steve I explore growing up as a gay teenager in the 1990’s.
