My latest graphic novel, Petrichor, is available now from Good Comics! It's a combination of abstract comics with autobiographical text, dealing with love, grief and parenthood.
"Petrichor is an enigmatic blend of abstract imagery and words that subtly sculpts a world beyond the filtered vision we are used to experiencing. Time and space melt, flow, disintegrate and reform as Gareth tells his deeply personal story. Melancholy, witty (this story features the most ingenious product placement I have ever seen) and occasionally laugh-out-loud funny, this is a celebration of love, an expression of grief and, in spite of the repeated assertion that “there are no new ideas”, it is profoundly, brilliantly original."

The Intercorstal: Extension (December 2018). 25 double-page spreads, which together form a dreamscape, haunted by ghosts and mundanity, bookended by elements heavily inspired by The Enfield Poltergeist. It's available from grthink.bigcartel.com
"That space, between energy and a material preservation of that energy, perfectly describes where this comic lives; even if I am over-reading here, this is a comic that, to mind at least, is about how we (over)read and (over)understand the world. However, none of that undoes the fact that the underlying world is terrifying and worst without the light that allows us to see it at all. I love this comic."
