These are two illustrations I did for this piece by Mark Wilding about the crazy and fascinating story of the Rathkeale Rovers, an Irish gang that stole millions of pounds worth of Rhino horn by smashing into museums, auction houses and private homes around Europe.

Stickers for Ruby Tandoh’s Flavour – Eat What You Love
I was very lucky to be asked to design some stickers for a pre-order of the excellent Ruby Tandoh’s also-excellent new cook book, Flavour – Eat What You Love. The brief was to design a diverse group of people enjoying all different types of food and bustin’ eating stereotypes!
Unfortunately, the pre-orders have sold out mega-quickly, but you can get the book from various places!
Queer – A Graphic History
I am very chuffed indeed to announce that I am going to have a book published this year! Written by Meg-John Barker and published by Icon Books:
Queer: A Graphic History is a groundbreaking non-fiction comic book that tells the histories of queer thought and activism. At its heart are questions and ideas relevant to everybody, such as whether we have fixed identities, understanding gender as a performance, and challenging binaries such as gay/straight or nature/nurture.
Bringing together pop-culture, activism and academic theory, Queer: A Graphic History explores the various ways in which people have wrestled with issues of sexual identity and behaviour, from studies like Alfred Kinsey’s view of sexuality as a spectrum, to Johnson and Masters’ research into sexual response. It also explores queer moments or directions in everything from Sherlock Holmes to Wicked: The Untold Story of the Witches of Oz.
You can order this book through Amazon, or buy it in places like Waterstones, Foyles, Gosh! Comics, and tons others!
