About

My name is Rozi and I’m a comics creator and illustrator based in the South West of the UK.

I explore themes of culture, imagination, journeys and nature in my work. My aim is to give my viewer an emotive experience; to think about the world around us and how we belong, as human beings.

For the past three years, I’ve been researching whales, and the relationship between them and humans, and other animals. This project will result in the creation of a graphic novel illustrating my findings.

Aside from my own work, I also co-run comics micro-publisher Good Comics with Paddy Johnston and Sam Williams. You can find out more information about what we do on the Good Comics website.
