About Me


Born 1997 in a suburb of Zurich, Switzerland, I started drawing in childhood years.

After I failed all the rest of my subjects and quit regular school at 15, I attended an art school (F+ F Zurich) for a while, where I started to produce my very first comics. By the age of 18, I had started publishing my own fanzine (later titled 2067) regularly, selling them to friends and at concerts and going to comic festivals.

My comics became quite autobiographical very fast, I personally find this the most interesting branch of comics - though most of the time there is a surreal twist to the stories.

In 2021, a collection of stories from my (by this point numerous) fanzines was published, first by Swiss publisher Edition Moderne and later the same year by les Editions Martin de Halleux in Paris. I heard it should be published in Egypt, though I´m not sure when.

I continue to publish fanzines independently, which is my main focus of work. I also do some illustration jobs on the side.
