About

Hello! My name is Issy. I grew up in South London, and have lived in New Orleans since 2011.

I make comics (and sometimes gifs), that are usually non-fiction or autobiographical. You can get my new collection of comics “No One Wants to Work Anymore” from Antenna. I have an MFA from The Center for Cartoon Studies, and my comics have been published by The Guardian, Popula, The Nib, and The Lily, among others. I won the Antenna Open Call for comics and a MICE mini-grant in 2021; I was shortlisted for the 2022 Cartoonist Studio Prize. You can read more about process and approach to making comics in this Narratively interview. I’m also an educator and service industry worker.
