About the artist
Bex Ollerton
Bex Ollerton is a full-time comic artist from Lancashire. She is known for her introspective comics about mental health, neurodivergence and the general struggles of being a human being in an overwhelming world. As a physically disabled autistic artist with ADHD, she cares greatly about raising awareness through graphic medicine, and her goal is to use comics to discuss things that can be hard to talk about. When she’s not drawing or making comics, she enjoys playing piano and definitely remembering to take care of her far too many house plants. You can find her work online under the handle Schnumn.
