The Casita Situations - 15/08/2009

This piece serves as a document of the hypercomic installation I created with David Baillie for the walls of a children’s mental health clinic at the Avicenne Hospital in Bobigny, Paris. The original comic was to a large extent site dependent, but I’ve tried to provide at least a flavour of the thing in this randomly generated web adaptation.

Four Derangements - 20/07/2009

A man with nine eyes observes the inhabitants of a mysterious, featureless complex of buildings. Endless dreams, premonitions of doom and ghosts of loves long dead become intermingled in this four part derangement of the comics form. Originally created to coincide with an exhibition of my work at SICAF 2009 in South Korea.

Never Shoot The Chronopath - 12/10/2007

My fourth go at a 24 Hour Comic, this time created in conjunction with 24 Hour Comics Day and Comica at the ICA. The story concerns three intersecting tales of a troublesome space-time intersection. The artwork here is also my first attempt at doing an all-vector Tarquin comic.

Merlism: The Book of Merl - 1/11/2005

An improvised hypercomic intended as the basis for a new religious order. The Book of Merl was originally created daily during October 2005 and is now complete and ready to be passed through the ages. I figure if you’re going to have delusions of grandeur, you may as well go all the way.

The Tarquin Engine - 3/6/2005

A new tool for the creation of zooming infinite canvas narratives within Macromedia Flash. The Tarquin Engine provides a unique way to create your own infinite canvas webcomics and hypercomics via a straightforward drag-and-drop process.

24:Three - 26/2/2005

“The Conundrunomicon holds many secrets. It also holds many lies. If there’s a trick to telling one from the other, then sadly I’ve yet to find it.” My third attempt at a 24 Hour Comic resulted in this snapshot of a sleep-deprived brain.

The Formalist - 1/11/2004

Who is The Formalist? Where did he come from? Where did he go? How did he get there and how will he get out? It seems there are some corners of reality where questions are more important than answers. Perhaps this is one of them.

Externality - 14/10/2003 to 5/5/2004

The Tarquin Engine provides the foundation for a six-and-a-half-month-long improvised exploration into the nature of reality. Ever wonder who’d win in fight between The Ninja With No Arms and Jesus Christ? Well wonder no more…

PoCom-UK-001 - 22/8/2003

A massive collaborative hypercomic that was originally created for the wall of the ICA as part of the Comica festival. This web adaptation marked the debut of my flash-based zooming infinite canvas delivery system, the Tarquin Engine.

Icarus Creeps - 11/4/2003

Meet Icarus Creeps. Icarus writes comics for living. Well, he did. Once. Maybe. Right now he’s sort of unemployed. He’s also sort of having a mental breakdown. Although it could just be that his mind was never that built up in the first place.

Brain Slide - 22/10/2002

This is a hypercomic about… er… well, maybe I’ll leave that one up to you to figure out. I’m sure it will all make sense shortly. Just try not to get distracted by the zombies. Or the evil telekinetic kittens. Or George Bush. Or Jesus.

Doodleflak - 9/4/2002

Just what do roving gangs of urban leeches, amputee ninja and the polite wrath of Jesus Christ have in common? Doodleflak, that’s what. This twisted hypercomic sketch show needs Flash to run and a sick mind to appreciate.

Sixgun: Tales From An Unfolded Earth - 18/10/2001

A surreal anthology of interrelated short stories. This Flash based hypercomic formed the major component of my master’s degree in the Digital Practices of Hyperfiction. It was originally serialised in six parts at Comic Book Resources.

Happyfrictions - 18/10/2000

A conspiracy. A shooting. A change in reality. These three short experiments form my earliest attempt at marrying comics with hyperfiction. JavaScript and html trickery can do strange things to the way a story is supposed to work.
