There’s Only One Place This Road Ever Ends Up
2020
There’s Only One Place This Road Ever Ends Up is the story of a young couple acclimatising to a new life of disability and chronic illness after a routine medical procedure goes horribly wrong. At a time when they might usually have been considering mortgages and marriage, the couple’s lives now revolve around endless surgery, ableist altercations and the big fat question mark hovering somewhere just over Hannah’s womb. Through a series of autobiographical vignettes, David Biskup seeks to make sense of this strange new normal. Finding comfort in the mundane and humour in even the most horrific of situations, There’s Only One Place This Road Ever Ends Up offers a unique perspective into a normal life, thrown off course.
Published using funding from the ELCAF x WeTransfer Award 2019. Supported by Arts Council England and Nobrow.

Still Life
2018
It is the Summer of 2018 and the uncertainty is the hardest part. My girlfriend is unwell and we are waiting to find out what, if anything, can be done to fix it.
Still Life is comprised of a series of drawings snaffled into an iPad after long waits in hospitals or on evenings at home when the melee has died down enough to think straight again. Rough, unfinished doodles from a rough, unfinished period in our lives, these drawings are as much a celebration of love and companionship as they are a scream into the void.
