Born in Oxford, England, Gruff79 was, until recently, a musician in the
British Army. A passionate artist, he has produced a great deal of
artwork in his spare time. Work began on Hiyama in 2003, following
a conversation during which he was asked if he’d ever considered
doing comic work, and the book has now grown to span 6 volumes.
This dark, often violent portayal of Britain in the not too distant
future has, pretty much, taken over his life. Gruff79 now lives in
New Zealand.
