Rory began his career in 1999 working in the Art Department on the Emmy and Golden Globe winning mini-series Band of Brothers. He went on to work on the Bafta and Emmy Award winning TV feature The Lost Prince.

His strong design and visualisation skills led him to work as a Storyboard and Concept Artist on a number of feature films including Layer Cake, Tim Burton’s Believe It Or Not, The Bourne Ultimatum and the Bafta Award winning, Oscar nominated, Children of Men.

In 2010 Rory designed the short film North Atlantic which won the best short film at the Savannah film festival, won the Audience Award at Milan and Warsaw film festivals and made the official selection for the London, Santa Barbara, Cleveland, Rome, Lisbon, Cinequest, Aspen, Ankara and Toyko film festivals.

He has written and developed two scripts for television: Company Forward & The Passive Menis, and has completed three feature scripts: Arks, The Tide Mechanics and Nicola Decimal and the Revolution.

During Covid a friend suggested that he adapt Arks into a novel. He went one better and decided to adapt it into a graphic novel instead, doing the art himself. One thing led to another and he is now making comics (kinda full-time) until the story becomes a huge success or he flames out.

Holly, is the reason we’re called Clicky Sprout Wife. Married to Rory, and with a clicking shoulder thanks to painting theatre and film sets, it was once proclaimed that she smelt sprouty and the name was born. When she’s not clicking etc you can find Holly up a ladder painting a set, a far cry from her previous life as an account director for Disney, Xbox and the like. Oh and she never has the same haircut twice.

Andrew has the best origin stories of any Artist ever. After finishing art college, he gained a work placement at a local fishmonger. For 3 years, he filleted sea bass, until one day a customer mentioned that a friend ran an illustration house for the advertising industry. He got work experience there and within a decade he'd become one of the most successful line and colour artists working in London.

He is a sleeping giant of the comic book world and he has produced 80% of the art we've made so far for Arks including Issues 2, 3, 4 and 5. To use industry parlance - He's a f***ing genius!
