HELLO!  And welcome to my brand new space on the web! Hold on, I'll make a cuppa and I'll give you the grand tour.

I've been drawing and writing comics for a few years now, but SANCHO, which I co-created with Ian Whelan, is what I'm best known for, and was shortlisted for two Eagle Awards. 

I was born in Dublin, where I attended NCAD, and now live in Wicklow with my wife and three boys. I am a graphic designer by day, and spend my evenings writing, drawing, and attempting to keep the children from stealing my pencils.

SANCHO is having a little rest at the moment. But! I always got a little something simmering... check out the above links for details.
