‘Comics are about telling stories. The emotional impact of the last 12 months, has forced me, like so many others, to re-evaluate and reinvent myself. Creating comic art has provided me with solace and therapy during times of stress. The past year has reinforced the importance of creativity, hope and compassion during dark times’
