About Halfdropped

Halfdropped lives somewhere in the middle of cartooning, illustration and writing, a world that’s up a bit and left a bit from this one. It’s made by me, Alex Russell, an artist based in Manchester, UK. Hello! Halfdropped is what the young people call a “side hustle” – I also make art. Bob over to alexrussell.com to see this.
