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.

  • Mini zine
  • 8 pages
  • Mental health focussed

This mini-zine would appeal to people who are interested in experimental comics, zines, outsider art and graphic medicine.

Design and Disability – V&A Dundee

StevenLeave a comment

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.

How About I Am Outside Of Your Window – A zine about creepy emo lyrics

How About I Am Outside Of Your Window takes a selection of lyrics and puts them out of context to emphases the weird, problematic and strange lyricism contained within the songs. The zine is not making fun of the songs or bands, in fact it is a funny, engaging and thought provoking celebration of emo lyrics and songs.

How About I Am Outside Of Your Window – A zine about creepy emo lyrics, embraces the DIY nature of zines to celebrate the genre of emo. It does not debate whether the bands or songs with the zine can or should be considered emo. Instead it asks questions on whether we, as fans of emo music, should take the music literally, or give some leeway to the creative talents of the musicians.

  • Self-published and bound
  • Features illustrations, comic book storytelling and lyrics

Milo Goes to Diversity and Equality Training

StevenLeave a comment

Milo Goes to Diversity and Equality Training takes a personal look at punk rock lyrics, attitudes and the exploitation of DIY art spaces. It is a perzine where memory and personal experiences are explored in order to look at how people take advantage of the open nature of DIY art, as a way to hide behind their ignorance and homophobia.

The zine uses illustrations, comics and text to present different ideas around DIY art and spaces. It’s not a comprehensive guide, it doesn’t present a solution and I am pretty sure lots of people will disagree with the concept and ideas within.

You can buy this zine here.

Milo Goes to Diversity and Equality Training comes with a massive content warning for homophobia.

You’ll enjoy this zine if you like indie comics, perzines, Descendents and queer comics.

Overshare

StevenLeave a comment

Overshare is an intimate and personal story that takes an in depth look at what it is like to constantly share your feeling with strangers, loved ones and random people. It is a perzine, comic and handmade zine. It asks questions on when, and if, it is ok to share your emotions with unfamiliar people and those close to you.

The comic does not make a distinct conclusion, instead it draws the reader in and asks if they are complicit in oversharing their feelings. Self-care, solitude and mental health are considered throughout. The story is told from the perspective of the writer and artist, where a queer, autistic and working class point of view is presented.

The zine is available to buy here.

You will like Overshare if you enjoy indie comics, unique stories and personal narratives. It takes elements of Diary Comics, Perzines and Graphic Medicine to give a careful, distinctive and intimate approach to comic book storytelling in a DIY and self-published format.

Biphobic Messages sent to me on Dating Apps

StevenLeave a comment

You can buy the zine here

Having now spent more time than I care to admit on dating apps, I thought it was time to make a zine about my experiences. Biphobic Messages Sent to me on Dating Apps is a perzine that captures some of the ignorance I have received from an array of people that seem to be annoyed by my sexuality.

Biphobic Messages Sent to me on Dating Apps doesn’t look at the psychology or reasoning behind the messages; it gives a selection of the messages and leaves the reader to draw their own conclusions. (This excludes some notes and comments from the author.)

The zine features illustrations and is an experimental and personal comic book zine. Obviously it comes with a massive content warning for biphobia. I catalogue my experiences either different apps do my best not to get angry.

You’ll like Biphobic Messages Sent to me on Dating Apps if you enjoy indie comics, queer comics, perzines and experimental storytelling.

How to Live With Grief

StevenLeave a comment

How to Live With Grief is a mini-zine in an envelope – with a few extra bits and pieces. The zine presents a method of how to live with grief. It was made during a stressful and solemn period of the artists and zine-makers life when they were trying to cope with great loss. The mini-zine does not propose a solution to grief, or a guide to going through the grieving process. It just presents how grieving can occur in many ways and how space and time can help.

The zine features words and illustrations. It is contained in an envelope to emphasise the personal and careful way the zine was put together.

You will like How to Live With Grief if you enjoy indie comics, unique stories and personal narratives. It takes elements of Diary Comics, Perzines and Graphic Medicine to give a careful, distinctive and intimate approach to comic book storytelling in a DIY and self-published format.

New Comic for Sale – Conversations With My Imaginary Friends

Conversations With My Imaginary Friends is a personal comic book that explores voice hearing and psychosis in an intimate and personal method. The story follows the comic book creator as they speak with the voices in their head and write down what they say. We see how important engaging with mental health is and how this can build strength and confidence. Each voice gives a letter to the protagonist and the reader gets to experience the voices in a unique and visual way.
