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.

Glasgow Comic Con – 1 June 2024

StevenLeave a comment

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.

New Comic – Conversations with LGBTQ+ Elders

StevenLeave a comment

Conversations with LGBTQ+ Elders is a comic about activism and protest as you get older. It tells the story of Will and Anthony, two older gay men as they get ready to attend a protest. The story features interviews with people who know the couple and we learn how they maintain their need to stand up and be recognised.

Conversations with LGBTQ+ Elders takes an experimental and non-linear look at comic book storytelling. The story is an intimate and personal one that shows the need for love and companionship. We see two people who have stuck together throughout their lives and overcome many problems. This inspires their activism and we see this passion within the pages of the comic.

Conversation with LGBTQ+ Elders is 32 pages long and in full colour. You can buy the comic here.

Conversations With My Imaginary Friends – even more pages from my new comic

StevenLeave a comment

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.
Other than looking at the negative and cliched focus of voice hearing and schizophrenia ‘Conversations With My Imaginary Friends‘ shows how common, powerful and interesting this behaviour can be.

The comic comes with 4 extra letters that are inserted into the comic. These pages can be taken out and read. A mini-zine from one of the characters is also given. These extras give an intimate and personal connection to the reader and fully expresses the closeness and power of the words that people hear in their heads.

– 28 pages
– Comes with 4 extra letters and a mini-zine, plus some extra bonus stuff!
– Full colour
– Hand bound and stapled
– Made with love and honesty

Self Sabotage – New Comic

StevenLeave a comment

Self Sabotage is a 28 page (mostly) black and white comic book zine that looks at the topic of mental health, success, creativity, community and what it means to be an artist. The comic will appeal to readers of Graphic Memoirs, Graphic Medicine and Perzines.

You can buy the comic here.

The story follows the creator of the comic as they discover what it means to be successful and if their own actions and mental health ruin their enjoyment of finding success. The idea of community and networking is explored in a visually exciting and experimental way. Some of the pages are ripped and destroyed. This presents the theme of self sabotage in an interesting and original method.

Self Sabotage will also appeal to people who like zines, perzines, queer zines and outsider art.
