Australopithecus é um zine dedicado à narrativa experimental. Apresenta-se como um conjunto de contos curtos em formato de banda desenhada. Mas, de certa forma, existe uma ligação entre eles. Australopithecus surgiu da necessidade do autor de criar uma espécie de playground onde os limites da narrativa visual podem ser testados e explorados. O surrealismo e o misticismo estão frequentemente presentes nas suas páginas como forma de lidar com a existência, os sentimentos e a busca por um novo ponto de vista.
