Sayra Begum


Sayra Begum released her first Graphic novel, Mongrel in August 2020, published by Knockabout comics and supported by Arts Council England.

Mongrel tells the story of a British Muslim woman who grew up in-between two cultures. She challenges conventions and looks beneath the surface to celebrate differences and reveal the common humanity.

Sayra’s style is influenced by Islamic miniatures and Surrealism. Her primary tools are her mechanical pencils. She is currently scripting her next graphic novel.

Sayra is a graduate of Falmouth University completing her Masters in Illustration: Authorial Practice in 2016. She’s currently training with the institute to become a lecturer, studying for a PGCHE, whilst tutoring on the MA Illustration course.
