My short film Keith is nominated for the Best of British Award at the Iris Prize 2026. The event will take place in Cardiff in October 2026, with a screening as part of a short film programme on Friday 16 October. Keith is the Scottish nomination, after winning the FIlmhouse Queer Film Prize 2026. This will be the second time I have been nominated for the Iris Prize, after Dix Pix in 2019.
Keith will now go on to screen on Film 4 and be available to watch online at Channel 4 until October 2027.
A new mini-zine is now available on my Etsy store. It is called Spiral. I have some info on this zine below.
Spiral is a mini-zine that takes an illustrative and pensive look at mental health and identity.
The zine features 8 small pages that present the inner emotions and feelings of different characters. The words and images look at what spiralling means. Spiralling upwards and downwards.
This mini-zine would appeal to people who are interested in experimental comics, zines, outsider art and graphic medicine.
You can buy Sprial here.
Two of my zines are at the Design and Disability exhibition at the V&A Dundee. The exhibition runs from 5 June to 4 October. The zines Coming Out Autistic and Uncomfortable Sex with Total Strangers are on display in the resources section towards the back of the exhibition. This is the second time I have displayed my work at the V&A Dundee, after the month long screening of Prosopagnosia during June 2025.
My short film Keith has won the Filmhouse Queer Film Prize 2026. The award was presented in June after a screening of queer short films made in Scotland. This means the Keith will be the Scottish nomination for the Iris Prize 2026. I am delighted to have won this award and was not expecting it. This is the fourth award that Keith has picked up.
I will be tabling at the Sequential Scotland comic art festival at the Double Tree by Hilton Hotel in Glasgow. The event takes place from 10am – 5pm and I will have some new(ish) comics and zines for sale.
