What was the first comic you bought?

Difficult to say. Comics have been around me my whole life But the one I most clearly remember buying myself is the Avengers: Disassembled TPB when I was a teenager. 

​

Favourite character to draw?

Thor, Magneto, Cyclops… basically all the X-Men, Conan and since I started drawing Alien: King Killer, I’ve discovered that I absolutely love drawing Xenomorphs!

Biggest creative influences?

This list could be endless, but I’d say these are the artists who inspired me the most to draw comics — especially the first one! David Finch, Stuart Immonen, Katsuhiro Ōtomo, and Olivier Coipel.

Favourite convention snack?

Cookies but can’t say no to a Twix or Mars.
