Biography
Cameron started out in British small press comics, most notably drawing Bulldog Empire, which also appeared in the small press section of Judge Dredd Megazine and was reprinted in the first volume of ILYA's Mammoth Book of Best New Manga. He provided the art for the Classical Comics's award-winning[1] adaptation of Henry V.
Cameron works predominantly in British weekly children's comics, creating Mo-Bot High for The DFC, and his work has appeared regularly in The Phoenix since 2011, of particular note are his long-running Mega Robo Bros series (winner of a 2017 Junior Excelsior Award[2]), and his Donut Squad series (shortlisted for the Waterstones Book of the Year 2025[3]), both collected into book format.
His first webcomic, 2020x365 was created in 2020.
