Early Access - Off Limits: An Explorer's Story - Part One

I'm beyond excited to be giving you all early access to the opening few panels of Off Limits! 

I first had the idea to turn my adventures into a graphic novel 5 years ago, and I've certainly procrastinated and reworked the story a lot since then! The prologue is the only part of the story that has escaped years of re-writes and new scripts, with only the art work evolving as my skills have improved, but the story and t...

Off Limits is Back!


Hi All!

First of all, THANK YOU to those still supporting my work, it means the world to me šŸ„¹ā¤ļø

This year I’ve been back to the drawing board, re working and rewriting ā€œOff Limitsā€; an urban exploration/ parkour story based on my own real experiences. And I’m excited to announce that the prologue is almost complete!

The story has evolved to better capture the intense action of my own Urban Exploration experiences, in a fictional adventure. I’ve e...

Episode 1 - Rough Sketches

Hello!

It's been a while...


Today, I am excited to announce that I have finally completed the rough outline of Off Limits episode one (although it's more of a prologue!) and when I tell you I'm excited... I'm excited! Finally having a tangible visual story to share with you all is honestly extremely relieving. šŸ˜‚

Perfectionism and a strong lack of organisation have allowed the story gather dust for too long, but it's finally taking shape and I couldn't be happi...

"Sara" - Character Profile

Hello friends,


I want to start by thanking you for being so patient with me! You're all legends and I'm massively grateful of your support!

I've attached the character profile for "Sara" our main protagonist above, this is just a basic overview as I'm keen to not give too much away about the story just yet! 

Whilst Sara is based on me and my exploration, I am keen to take as many steps away from her actually being me in the comic, as I don't want this to come...

Little life update

Hello friends,


I just wanted to thank you for your support and to let you know that things are a little slow at the moment as I’m in the process of moving home. This hasn’t been the exciting move that we were looking forward to and the coronavirus situation is making it more difficult to move at the moment. I’ll have more to say on this later in this months Patreon Show.


As soon as the move is over, in a couple of days, I’ll be back in the full swing ...

This is my FIRST ROOFTOP VIDEO

Hi Friends,

Hope you're all having a great week!

This video is quite a personal one for me. I took it down from YouTube years ago because honestly, I look at it now and think "this is actual shit". What I forget to think about is that this video shows me just how far I've come, from the shy teenager going through a dark patch in life, to finally finding something that I'm passionate about.

Urban Exploring really did change my life in the year after making this video, as I'm ...
