Interests:
= Fantasy/ Science Fiction/ New Weird/ Cyberpunk

WARNING : EXPLICIT - may be offensive
I don't often stray into the world of comics, but I've had a character called the Retributioner moping around my head since the early days of big school. So I drew this comic. It's based on a series of panels I did whilst bored in a French lesson or in registration (I forget).
I have an interest in the obscenely strange and the unsettlingly macabre; which I hope goes some way to explaining the next few pages.
The following content is not indicative of my thematic preferences or style - I merely enjoy venturing from my norm and expanding my output.
Enjoy (....?)
