Taller Than Jesus
CREATOR/EDITOR/WRITER/DESIGNER/TEA-BOY
I edit and design the mag and write about half of each issue (over four issues,
that's about 50 articles and 25 images), I also built this website.
I started Mustard in 2001, putting together the b&w photocopied magazines in my spare time around my day-job. In 2006, after six of those issues, I started the new colour, professionally printed issues that are sold in shops.
I've also written and performed sketches for BBC Radio 1 and scripted comic book scripts for FutureQuake magazine. Between 2002 and 2003 I alaos performed stand-up (making the BBC New Talent semi-finals) and improv around the country, and regularly appeared as a panelist on the Competetive News Bonanza quiz.
There's more on all that at www.alexmusson.com/edy.
