Career

Churchland began their comics career with short stories in the anthologies Meathaus S.O.S. and Dark Horse Presents , with the latter featuring Conan the Barbarian. Primarily a fan of video games, they were inspired to begin working as a comic artist by the work of Japanese game designers Yoshitaka Amano and Akihiko Yoshida. Their work is also influenced by painters including Delacroix, Van Gogh, and other members of the Renaissance. Churchland broke through with a three-issue arc as an artist on Richard Starkings' long-running creator-owned series Elephantmen . This brought them to the attention of established comic professionals such as Warren Ellis. [5] They published Beast, their debut graphic novel as writer and artist, in 2009. It is a loose retelling of the Beauty and the Beast fairytale. [6]

Following the success of Beast, in 2015, Churchland launched two projects as part of then-partner Brandon Graham's 8HOUSE shared universe. They were the artist on Arclight, the first story in the series, and co-writer of From Under Mountains alongside Claire Gibson, with art by Sloane Leong. [7] [8] [9]
