Prosopagnosia at V&A Dundee
In April 2025 my short film Prosopagnosia was chosen to screen in the V&A Museum in Dundee. The screening was for Autism Awareness month and the short screened on a loop in the Jupiter Auditorium. I lived in Dundee for many years and left just before the museum was built. It was a very special experience to go back and see the film in a city that means a lot to me. Some photos from the exhibition are below –
ReelAbilities UK Disability History month
Two of my short films are streaming on the ReelAbilities channel for UK Disability History month. ReelAbilities is a New York based disability focussed film festival. The festival has screened several of my films, but is streaming What It Feels Like and Coming Out Autistic specifically for UK Disability History Month. I am delighted that both those films were chosen and honoured that they are being highlighted during an important month.
Glasgow Comic Con – 1 June 2024
I am doing a lot less events this year, as I am concentrating on new work. I expect I will be doing even less next year as well. Therefore I am pleased to take part in Glasgow Comic Con on 1 June 2024. The event is taking place at The Royal Concert Hall, Killermont Street, Glasgow G2 3NY
I will have no new comics or zines for sale, but this will be the last time in quite a while that I will be selling my comic and zines in person in Glasgow. I plan on doing a lot more comics and zine events in 2026. I had a busy 2022 and 2023 and I want to come back with lots of new stuff.
Glasgow Comic Art Festival 2024 – 9 March 2024
I will be taking part in Glasgow Comic Art Festival 2024 on 9 March 2024. The event takes place from 4pm to 9pm and is at Glassford Trades Hall, 85 Glassford St, Glasgow, G1 1UH.
There will be no new comics or zines from me (I will hopefully have some later in 2024), but I am looking forward to tabling in Glasgow again. This is a new Comic Art Festival in the city.
Edinburgh Zine Fest 2024 – Sunday 11 February 2024
I will be taking part in Edinburgh Zine Fest 2024 on Sunday 11 February 2024. The event will take place at the Fruitmarket Gallery in Edinburgh. This will be my third time tabling at this zine fest and it is one of the best. I have no new zines on sale, but I will be selling some old ones that I have not had on my table in a few years. I will have copies of my How To Deal With Rejection series . There are 3 issues in total and info on these are below. Edinburgh Zine Fest will be my first event of 2024.

Portfolio Update
I have updated this website with some extra information on my work and a more concise list of exhibitions and events. In the past few years I have been to many Zine Fests and Comic Cons. I have not released any new comics since Conversations with LGBTQ+ Elders and I have mostly been concentrating on my animation work. In late 2022 I released the Coming Out Autistic short film and it has gone onto screen in over 40 international film festivals and win the Best Animation Award at the Marvels of Media Awards.
My plan for 2024 is to complete a new film and hopefully put out a zine at the end of the year. I have been working busy, but I will use this blog to post updates on events.
Prosopagnosia at BFI Flare 2022
My short film Prosopagnosia will be screening at the BFI Flare LGBTQIA+ Film Festival 2022. The festival runs from 16 – 27 March and Prosopagnosia will screen on Tuesday 22 and Thursday 24 March. Flare is one of my favourite film festivals and I am delighted to screen at the festival! Prosopagnosia is in the Shorts: Drawn Together screening with several other great short LGBTQIA+ films.
Awkward Silence – Pages from the Comic
My new comic Awkward Silence is on my Etsy store right now. You can buy the comic here.
Some information on the comic is below along with some images.
Awkward Silence is a personal comic book that looks at quietness and solitude in a loud world. The story follows the creator as they look at how loudness and quietness has affected them and changed how they communicate with other people and their environment. Being mute and not being able to speak has many implications and these are delicately presented in this intimate and experimental comic book memoir.
