Available to hire
I’m Chris Flynn, a hard-working and dedicated illustrator and comic creator with a strong love of comic books and horror art. Even with the added challenge of a physical disability, I focus on delivering high-quality projects—either working from home part-time or collaborating where I can contribute effectively.
I’ve studied art and illustration across several colleges, built my experience through self-published mini-comics and cartoon strips, and expanded into screenwriting and film through my Bat Bunnies work. My artwork and storytelling have been recognized internationally, including festival wins for short script/screenplay and art, as well as selections and finalist placements across the UK, the USA, and beyond.
