I did the first Wasted Epiphanies minicomic to have something to give away to random people at Burning Man ‘06. Writing used to be my main thing, though I loved reading other people’s comics, but that year I decided not to let a little thing like not being very good at drawing hold me back any more. It was 12 pages, photocopied in black and white, and I did 50 copies in a poky little shop in Gloucester while travelling for work, mere hours before getting on the plane. A wide-eyed young guy at Burning Man told me it was the most amazing thing he had ever read in his life. Though he’d probably have said the same about the phone book.

Over the next two years I did three more minicomics. I’ve now collected them into a 52-page comic, One Word For Everything, which you can get here. Some of the strips in it are (or will be) posted here. Some of it is only available in print.

Along the way, I did a spoken-word performance accompanied by projected panels from my comics at the Oxford Arts Festival in September 2007, and had an exhibition as part of the Caption Comics Collective (also featuring such excellent artists and human beings as Jeremy Dennis, Daniel Merlin Goodbrey, Andrew Luke, David Baillie, Sally-Anne Hickman, D’israeli, and more) at the Jam Factory gallery in August 2008. (Some framed originals are still available at the shop.) I also do mostly-abstract art and assorted other stuff, which you can see at my other site epiphanycast.
