Frequently Asked*? – Why does my CV have so much about Comics and Games on it?
On Linkedin I see near unending advice on how you should laser focus the tailoring of your CV to each individual role you apply for, and yes, I do some of that: I have chunks of content I can add or remove, words I re-order and sentences I re-phrase for each role I apply for.…
A Cube of Sea
Going back a year or so, myself and my kid contributed two pages to “The Sea… and that” – a Paper Jam Comics Collective Anthology. This was the first post covid/lockdown anthology and probably had one of the smartest covers we’ve had. It was printed in Black and White, but originally created as an A1…
The Hexham Heads
For the Paper Jam Comics Collective’s 20th Anthology, Mythology and That, myself and Brittany Coxon wanted to make a comic about the Hexham Heads. It was proving something of a struggle since we were trying to tell the reasonably authentic story of the history which Britt had extensively researched and provides links to many sources…
Two Titans – Terry Wiley and Craig Puranen Wilson

Comics Robot Go!

Bad Decisions
This was my submission for the Paper Jam Comics Collective anthology Bad Decisions …and that. I think we can all agree that some questionable creative choices have been made here. Lacking inspiration, I called the above mess ‘Something Something Fish Quotas’ I did a little design work for the cover of the Comic (which was…
Amazing Adventure Comics Machine …and that
Myself and Brittany Coxon worked on this framing strip for the Paper Jam Comics Collective anthology ‘Amazing Adventure Comics Machine‘ – our first in full colour, specifically as an all ages comic due to Space Monkey being close to sold out. Intro Pages Some self indulgent things here about the history of the group, I…
Making …and that
The Paper Jam Comics Collective anthology specifically made to celebrate the Maker Faire and launch at Maker Fire 2016, my comic outlines, in a vague sort of way, some ideas about making Websites Good… (and how they relate to making Comics Good, with specific emphasis on getting it done rather than right) …an area in…
Gish Wishes
I have no idea what any of this means. I was given some brief instructions by Linda Jameson about the various characters involved. I think it was for a charity treasure hunt? Anyway, I had a spare evening and did this. I’m not sure it was the right thing to do. Presumably someone out there…
Food Encounters of the Third Kind?
Here’s the comic I made for the Paper Jam Comics Collective Food …and that Anthology. Deliberately trying to be less previous about the rendering here and focusing on just getting something done quick that has a few jokes. I’m pretty pleased with how it worked out and some of the panels are funny.
