I am writing and drawing my debut graphic novel, tentatitively titled Absolute Legend, To Be Fair. It’s a story about men, violence and vulnerability, set in contemporary London. Subscribe to my newsletter for more frequent updates.

I spent January and February preparing for, and then pitching my book, to a list of literary agents in the UK, US and Canada. A few have responded positively to my query letter which is encouraging; but the odds of success remain low. We shall see!

🎥 Work

The news cycle continues at hurricane force. I feel lucky to be working for a news organisation like The New York Times at a moment of historical importance and my team are meeting the moment. This film I co-produced and edited has been viewed nearly ten million times across platforms. “The New York Times is raising the alarm!” one TikTok user declared. For this interactive project, we interviewed seven Inspector Generals fired by Elon Musk’s DOGE.

🇧🇪 Life

Things are less positive in my personal life and 2025 is looking like a year of big, and not all welcome, change. I’ll be spending a month this spring living in Antwerp, finding some space and solitude as a stranger in an unknown city. The last time I did this was in 2013 and it was a time of growth and change. Let’s see what this brings.
