- Neighbourhood WashNeighbourhood Wash is an abstract comic that uses sequential images of circles and triangles which interact to illustrate gentrification. The comic is able to give the impression of gentrification by playing on the semiotic relationships between shapes and emotions. The soundtrack (composed by Jope Sound) influences the reader's concept of time within the comic by attempting to synchronise to visual anchors throughout the narrative. The comic is a one off publication produced by colour photocopying black ink original artwork. The cover is printed with lino cut relief. Neighbourhood Wash is the second of two outcomes from a series of research projects based around the theme of visualising sound. The research explored themes of; understanding the basic formulas for reading and designing sequential art, exploring the possible effects abstraction can have on graphic narrative theories and concluding psychological hypotheses about the intuitive connections between instrumental music and abstract visuals.

- Briz de MarBriz de Mar is the third in a series of multi-sensory comic book experiments, sold as a 12- page riso-printed booklet, with a soundtrack pressed to clear 7" vinyl. The project is the result of an investigation into the pacing of sequential art, which has an inherent musical and rhythmic nature. The artists wanted to create abstract comics with musical accompaniments in order to bridge the gap between the two mediums. The soundtrack takes cues from alien dancehall, classic waltzes and 90s drum
- Abstract comics: Gobi/Neighbourhood WashA collaboration with comics artist, Miranda Smart. The first, Gobi, was drawn as a response to a simple composition; whilst Neighbourhood Wash was written as a score to an pre-drawn comic narrative. Gobi was printed out as an accordion book, Neighbourhood Wash as a multi-medium A4 comic. Both were accompanied by a dubplate 7" recording of the soundtracks, and exhibited at London College of Communication.
