Ross Bampfylde: Writer and Illustrator of Armada

I’m a writer and illustrator from Torpoint, Cornwall. I studied Fine Art and Graphic Design at Arts University Plymouth.

I live in Plymouth, UK with my wife and three kids, and work from a small home studio.

Over the years, I’ve contributed to a range of UK small press comics, including the long-running 2000 AD fanzine Zarjaz, and created my own crowdfunded comic series, Chateau Obsidian - a cyberpunk comic series blending high-concept science fiction and ancient mythology.

Armada is the first full length graphic novel I’ve both written and illustrated from the ground up. It brings together my long-standing interest in history, design, and character-driven narratives.
