The Mindstainers
In 2012, George, Rob and Sarah were at Thoughtbubble Comic Con. They stopped, looked at each other and one of them said "We could do that." Someone else said "Yeah." A year later Mindstain exhibited its first comics at Thoughtbubble 2013.
Now an established comics co-operative, Mindstain has several ongoing titles including Sarah Peploe's ultra-violent Restoration drama, 'Damaris', Rob Burton's dystopian CC3 and CCx books, and George Joy's pre-steampunk 'Cogs and Caves' Series, with accompanying 'jewelry with an origin story'.
As independent creators we are grateful for the support of all our patrons.

Rob Burton
Writer
Rob Burton was not born on 8th February 1577 and did not write 'The Anatomy of Melancholy'.
He hides under your bed so that he can drop spiders in your mouth while you are sleeping. When you are at work he eats your porridge, sits in your chair and then falls asleep in your bed - he is happy to report that they are all just right. There are two of him.
He enjoys lying so much he is trying to make a career out of it.
