DAN SCHAFFER began his career working as a political cartoonist for the NASUWT national newspaper, The Career Teacher. In 2000, he brought his offbeat writing style and twisted artistic vision to the world of comics with the critically acclaimed cult comic series DOGWITCH.   

Known for the diversity of his work, Dan frequently defies traditional comic book  formulas and expectations, preferring to bend genres and explore challenging and uncompromising themes. His body of work to date includes DOGWITCH (collected in three graphic novel volumes), psychological sci-fi thriller THE SCRIBBLER, experimental arthouse graphic novel INDIGO VERTIGO, and the music crossover short LESIONS IN THE BRAIN - the last two produced with frequent collaborator Katiejane Garside. 

In 2007, Dan and Katiejane collaborated again as artist and model on a series of disturbing portraits entitled "Crime Scene" and "Autopsy Doll" for an  art exhibition at the Woom Gallery.

Dan also works extensively in film and has a number of screenplays in development. His comedy/horror film, DOGHOUSE, was picked up for distribution by SONY and is due for release in 2009. It is currently in post- production with Carnaby International, starring Danny Dyer and Stephen Graham, directed by Jake West.
