Welcome
I’m Debbie Jenkinson, an illustrator/author from Dublin.
I’m a member of Illustrators Ireland, and a committee member at DCAF, a non-profit comic book festival that happens four times a year in Dublin. My Instagram is here, & my blog is here. Talk to me here.
I’m co-founder of The Comics Lab, (as part of DCAF) which explores story-telling in sequential formats. We initiated Ireland’s first Graphic Short Prize run with The Irish Times April 2019 and made an anthology of the 10 shortlisted entries. We invite guests to speak at DCAF and organise workshops too.
Click on the links above to find out more about my books. In 2020 I finished Ghosting, (the Irish Comic News Awards’ OVERALL BEST IRISH COMIC 2020 and The Irish Times’ Best Graphic Novel of 2021 list). In ’23 I published another long comic, about a homesick pharmacist living in exile in a small town in the Irish midlands, called Midlands. Read Una Mullally’s review of Midlands here. At the moment, I am working on a long comic called Significant Other, which is about two school leavers in the summer of 1986, a dire moment for Ireland, who find a letter from the 1950s in the charity shop where they work. It’s about the different forms love takes.
