CW: harassment, groping, violent language

The artist Elyssa Rider shares her work with us again. This time, she recounts being triggered by public transport and the intrusive thoughts that follow. 

Elyssa’s short comic reminds us of the all too familiar anxiety we can feel on public transport. If you’ve ever felt someone staring at you for too long, or felt the unwanted body of a stranger too close to your own, we hope you’ll find validation in Elyssa’s apt narration and mesmerising art…

Elyssa is an illustrator living and working in the UK.  Much of Elyssa's work is influenced by her strong connections with Japan and her love of Japanese illustration.  She also endeavours to make work that will instigate social change and question the cultural climate in the UK.  She longs to see the Britain become a place where everyone is treated equally and this is often a motivating factor in the work she undertakes.  Elyssa is currently working as a freelance illustrator, but when she isn't at her day job, she loves writing and illustrating consent-focused sex education resources.
