A world identical to our own – identical that is, apart from all the orcs, elves and magic… A love letter to Final Fantasy and Lord of the Rings, NPC Tea is about Cardiff’s least popular tea shop, Y Ddraig, run by a perfectionist elf and a laid-back fire summon.
NPC Tea follows an ex-fire summon, an elf and a magicless human as they attempt to save a failing tea shop in modern day Cardiff. Soon they find out that a lack of customers and caddies upon caddies of rotting tea are the least of their worries, when a type of banned magic rears it’s ugly head and threatens to destroy the entire city. Bryn, Oz and Hannah must unite if they are to save their business – and ultimately the city itself.
An 8 issue series, NPC Tea escalates from slice of life comedy into an epic fantasy, twisting typical RPG and fantasy stereotypes into a modern day setting. It’s about what happens when there are no more dungeons to crawl, when magic needs to be organized, and when orcs, elves and men try to live peacefully side by side – a balance that’s harshly tested when an entire city is threatened with destruction…
Hello! I'm an illustrator and writer from Cardiff, Wales.
I'm best known for my independent comic series, NPC Tea, which is about a tea shop run by orcs and elves, set in modern day Cardiff. This series was funded on Kickstarter, with six successful campaigns running from 2017 to 2020. I graduated from Bristol UWE with a degree in Illustration in 2011, and after that completed a Masters in Animation at the University of Glamorgan in 2012. Since then I've worked as a freelance artist, with clients from the comics and games industries.
