Stories & visitor guides
Short comics, illustrated stories and visitor guides that give a place a voice people remember.
An adventurous character world inspired by New Zealand wildlife, landscapes, conservation and travel.

Wilder Days grows out of Aotearoa New Zealand's mountains, forests and coastlines — a world that rewards noticing small things: a footprint on the track, a bird call at dusk, weather changing over a ridge. Each character sees the same landscape from a different point of view, so every journey through it feels a little different. It is a creative world inspired by place, not a claim to local traditions or cultural endorsement.
