In 2020, I began submitting weekly comic strips to a free newspaper called Walpole Weekly. Walpole Kids  went on to appear in multiple Great Southern newspapers, 2 self published books and an arts documentary. While the comic took a break in early 2023, it returns once in a while when I have the time. 

​

I'm still working on an online shop so if you are interested in purchasing Walpole Kids comic books, please contact me directly.

Walpole Kids Comics 2021 Speech​

As a 2D animator, ​I gained online success with multiple Doctor Who parody animations in the early days of YouTube and worked 2 series for a BBC Children's programme titled, Little Howard's Big Question.

​

I have a National Diploma in Moving Image and a Bachelor of Arts (with Honours) in Animation from Arts University Plymouth (UK).

Since 2022, I have successfully run 3 children's Comic Making workshops with the Walpole CRC and Cinefest Oz. These sessions cover the basics of character development and storytelling in comics.  

 

Along with workshops, I also do Walpole Kids live comic readings. ​My first reading was at Perth Comic Arts Festival's Gross & Weird  held in 2023. This event showcased a selection of incredible children's author-illustrators including Campbell Whyte, Aśka, James Foley and Sean E Avery. I later read during Perth Festival's Writer's Weekend at the WA State Library in 2024.​​

In 2019, I released my first self-published comic book, Tomothy and the Time Travel Shoes. The concept and characters came from a long running series of unreleased comics and animations.

​

My comics have appeared in two Anthologies: It was different for him was a full-page comic reaction to the COVID-19 lock downs. The strip featured in the West Coast Comic Anthology published by Neighbourhood Press in 2021. In 2024, I produced a full-page newspaper style comic on the subject of AI called Apple & Biscuit. This strip was printed in TALE TOWN, a comic journal for Perth Comic Arts Festival.

In my spare time I like to dabble with song making. This involves a MIDI keyboard, some lyrics and occasionally a Melodica. Some of my songs are in collaboration with Perth musician and producer, Daniel Symons with our band, Artificial Colours.
