I’m currently working on my autobiographical comic book, “The Weird & Wonderful Surviveries of Squid Horse” which explores mental health, grief and intersectional issues from the rare(r) point of view of a British-born Chinese neurodivergent, trans-masc non binary squid horse. Very grateful to be awarded funding from Arts Council England and excited to announce that I’ll be taking it to Thought Bubble Comic Convention in November!

"As a lifelong comic and graphic novels fan, I can tell you that NOTHING like this book exists. It’s a project that will absolutely have deep and wide cultural value. The stories of '3rd culture kids' (in this instance, a British-born child of immigrants from the ESEA community) are often forgotten when speaking about the British experience. Not to mention navigating queer identities within that already complex cultural framework. We should all be excited that we will get to witness something truly groundbreaking."

"I would fully support this publication from Squid who has done vital work in platforming the experiences of queer and trans ESEA people in the UK. I’m grateful for the work he has done for besea.n and strongly believe his art should reach a wider audience."Amy Phung - Co-founder of besea.n
