Antoinette Rydyr

Antoinette Rydyr is a writer and artist, who works with Steve Carter to form the creative team known as S.C.A.R. Their strange and eclectic works incorporates anything from sci-fi and horror fantasy to surrealism and weird satire. All of it has a strong element of the bizarre and a healthy dose of experimentalism. They create in a variety of mediums – prose fiction, illustration, comic books, screenplays and even music, which they produce with their experimental band TeknoSadisT. All albums can be heard on Bandcamp. https://teknosadist.bandcamp.com/

They have recently published a series of graphic novels including: the steamy jungle adventure “Savage Bitch”, a collection of fantastic beasts and antediluvian freaks titled “Bestiary of Monstruum”, the out-of-this-world anthology “Weird Worlds – Subversive Science Fiction Stories”, Australia’s most controversial comicbook resurrected in the graphic novel “Phantastique – Tales of Taboo Terror”, and the extremo “Weird Sex Fantasy – Tales of Sex and Death for the Totally Jaded”. Plus many more…

Their original screenplay “Curse of the Swampies”, a horror sci-fi film, won “Best Feature Film Screenplay” at the A Night of Horror International Film Festival 2010.

A collaboration with Ethan Somerville saw the creation of their steampunk western novel, “Weird Wild West” parts one and two published in 2018 by Bizarro Pulp Press.
