Abs (that's me) is a cartoonist living in Cardiff. I love to read, talk about, and draw comics. My work is informed by music, poetry, repressed emotions, and vintage patterns.
My critically acclaimed comics have been published by Avery Hill, BOXES, BOSH Zine, Illustoria Magazine, and various other small-press and indie anthologies.​
