Welcome to Earwigo Comics — the free archive. I’m just a nice guy putting these online so anyone can read them. The site’s a bit all over the place, but that’s part of the charm. If you’ve got time to explore, try the links below — they’ll take you through my art, my old projects, and the long, weird history of this comic.
My first Earwigo webpage went up in 2002. Ten years later, it’s still archived at geocities.ws.
Evidence, neon, and the undercity.
In this chapter of my history, I stepped deeper into neon alleys, cold chrome, and the darker corners of Western Australia's history that world analogue time so far ignored. This period shaped the visual language I use today — crime scenes lit by holograms, rain‑slick streets, and the quiet ghosts of real stories.
The work from this era is archived in my gallery:
In 2013 I studied art at Central Institute of Technology. My online gallery opened in 2014 and is still running.
I built a webpage prototype for St Luke’s Anglican Church in Maylands (click here).
In 2012 and 2015, the Bjork 4um shared some of my art (click here).

Stories include:
• Eddie Earwig Skates to Eastern States
• I Skated the Edge

I also made Final Fantasy VII comics and FF forums back in the day. The guestbook opened 16/12/2013 — now closed, but the memories remain.
