Lonely single comic-book writer and columnist seeking hot Maryland & D.C.-area comic creators

Hello everyone, that title was just a bit of a joke. I'm happily married. But I am looking to connect with other comic creators, whether you're a professional, independent publisher, illustrator, writer or somewhere in between. I'm a published comics writer, illustrator, and comics enthusiast, originally from the U.K., but based in Maryland for about the last quarter century.

In addition to my creative projects, I write a monthly column called "The Long Box," where I explore comics culture, spotlight notable creators and industry trends in the independent and small press. I'm also authoring a project called "Tangible," a more tactile, print-based letter/zine/comic that I mail out to subscribers for free on actual paper in a real envelope (the postage is on me).

My favorite cons are the Baltimore Comic Con and Heroes, in Charlotte, North Carolina. I have been known to drop into SPX on occasion.

My goal is simply to encourage a little more dialogue, collaboration and mutual support within our local comics scene. If you're interested in talking about your current projects, sharing information about local events, exploring potential collaborations or just networking with a fellow creator, please do get in touch.

Here are a few bits from my portfolio so you can see I’m legit.
