This is where the first chapter of Visions of the Phantomfield ends! I may post the rest of the comic here at a later time but if you want to read the rest now you can either continue reading online at GlobalComix or buy a physical copy on my Etsy store. Physical is the best way to read it in my opinion as you get the full experience of how it was intended to be read, plus it supports my work and the creation of future comics.

New Year 2026

Posted on 13 January 2026 by edoizayoi
We’re already halfway through the month, and I’m slowly getting back into the rhythm of things again. I had a little break, and as I head over to Ireland for Megacon I plan to have a bit more of an actual holiday. It will be good to see Dublin again, and I’m looking forward to checking out Belfast too. I am already thinking about how to make this year better for my art, and I have a couple of resolutions in mind. Hope to see some familiar faces on my travels!

Thought Bubble Upcoming – News regarding Projects

Posted on 2 November 2025 by edoizayoi
As this year just speeds by, I feel glad that I spread my conventions out a bit so I would not feel overwhelmed. Thought Bubble is one that I’ve been looking forward to for so long and I’m glad to confirm that I will be in the Redshirt Hall, Table E13. There you will find me selling my works, and also working on my second Shabbit comic book, which sadly I was unable to complete in time. It was with a heavy heart that I realised a couple of months ago that I would have the odds stacked in my favour. Family complications in September slowed things down to a crawl, and while I’ve gotten a handle of things now its still a lot to work out. For now I will continue to work on this comic, hoping to get as much done by the end of the year so I can finally have it all sorted. Next year I have booked Megacon Dublin, which will be as much a holiday break, as a good deadline to work towards shabbit stuff. Thank you to everyone for your patience, and I hope to see many of you at Though Bubble.

Post-Doujincon News

Posted on 4 August 2025 by edoizayoi
Today is my rest day after Doujincon. I came out of the convention feeling pretty good, and I would dare say its probably the best convention I have been to since covid knocked everything out of alignment. How good you may ask? If I talked about it in terms of figures and profits, I made close to what I made during my best sessions at MCM in the 2010s. But honestly what I appreciated was the engagement with the attendees and fellow artists. The morning of Saturday I was on my feet most of my time, chatting and selling away, and the atmosphere was just so positive. I probably spent more at this convention than I have at any other. I think they managed to strike a good balance between marketing at the right audience that were looking for original and fanworks like ours, while not being too overwhelming. I cannot stress enough how much of a positive experience this convention was and how much it has renewed my faith in the convention scene as a whole, particularly in somewhere as oversaturated with big conventions as London. I may never get into MCM again, but I would happily trade that for one of these once a year. So my hat is off to you Ivan, and those who helped organise Doujincon. You made something great, and I hope you’ll continue to organise great conventions like this in the future, because I’ll be there with more new material. Speaking of which, I’m still working hard on the new shabbit comic. The earlier rewrite is working much better and I’m making nice steady progress through it. My hope is still to get it done for Thought Bubble, and I will be putting in the extra time to get it done. Thought Bubble is currently my only planned event but I will keep you posted as more info comes through or more opportunities arise.

Time is moving quickly once again. This past few months I have been settling into a new role at the London Museum, working with some amazing collections of objects and getting inspiration along the way. I am still working out how to use my time outside of it for art and slowly but surely I’ve managed to break through a big hurdle I have been facing with Visions of the Phantomfield Book 2. This issue has been bugging me for a while, but I’m hoping it will result in a much better comic that will be enjoyable to read. I do however have some news regarding events. While I won’t be attending Hyper Japan this summer, I will be going to a new convention in London called Doujin Con (see details below). I’m really excited to be having a table there, along with many of my friends from the Manga Meetup groups and even some Japanese doujinshi artists. Looks like I’ll need to save my money for that too xD;; I also appear to be in this years Thought Bubble festival, coming up this November. This is one of the biggest in the UK, and certainly an important one for graphic novels. It feels nice after years of applying to finally get in. At this present time, I’m aiming to get my second Shabbit book done by then, provided nothing gets in the way. I feel bad I won’t have it ready for Doujin Con, but there may be something else I’ll have ready by then instead.

Chapter 1 of Visions of the Phantomfield is now online here at DreadLevi.com. I’ve uploaded it as a preview for the series and I will not upload the rest until book 2 is out. I also fixed some little issues with the picture quality and the accompanying text. Expect more updates on Book 2 Soon.

I have an important announcement to make. It has not been easy but it is important to the future of this website and DreadLévi. Since I made my art a full time job, I feel very lucky for all the opportunities I have had. Winning Manga Jiman in 2022 with Out of the Dark had meant my gambit of leaving my old job had paid off, and I have felt proud to call myself an Award Winning Manga Artist. As far as I can remember it’s the first time I have ever come first in anything, and it felt like I had really found something where I truly belonged. The circles and networks that I am a part of have helped me to grow as an artist in London, and helped me in turn to achieve my dream of starting my original manga series Visions of the Phantomfield. Regardless of what happens I am going to continue working hard on that. What I have had to face is that my commissions are no longer enough to keep me going. I know I am not the only one who is going through this, especially with the state of the economy and how expensive things have become. To top it all off, there are family issues I am facing at home that are making it more difficult to dedicate myself completely to art, and I am fearful that I could lose an important safety net at any given time. I am not even entirely sure how many conventions I can do during the year, though I am going to book for a couple of big ones where I can. The important thing is that I am going back into full time work, this time with a different museum, and I am hoping that it will help give me some peace while I work things out. With that being said, I am still working on Visions of the Phantomfield Book 2. I have ended up rewriting a couple of chapters but I think overall it will turn out much better. In the end I don’t want to rush it and give you all a bad manga. I’m hoping to have it out later this year, I just need to clear up a few things along the way. Thank you everyone for your patience and I look forward to sharing more soon. There are plenty of shabbits left on sale.

Hey everyone. Just a quick update and a belated thank you to everyone who visited me at ACME Autumn Comic Con in Glasgow. I had a fun time and it was nice to meet new fans and people who remembered my old work. We were able to give 4 Shabbit plushies a new home too! It was really nice being back in Glasgow, and while I was hoping not to get post-con flu, I did end up getting the ill the following week (Just as I was starting to get back into commission work too…) At this present time I have no other events for the rest of the years. There is some admin and family stuff I have to deal with, as well as recouping costs for a lot of expensive things. Looking ahead I was hoping to have my second Shabbit comic ready in time for January, but I think with everything going on that I will have to delay its release by a few months to being sometime in the first quarter of next year. I will be posting updates as I get closer to completing it, but talking to fans it’s clear that they don’t want me to rush it, and I would rather deliver a polished comic in the end. I hope there will be a time when I get one of these out once a year, but for now I hope you’ll be patient. I will be looking at more events next year too. I have had good recommendations about Monopoly events, and I am hoping I will be in a better position to do more abroad. I feel bad that I won’t be attending Malta Comic Con this year, but I hope to return again next year.

Hi everyone! This month has been a bit crazy for me, and a large part of it comes down to the problems I had with my laptop and graphics tablet a couple of weeks ago. I have noticed recently that my laptop was experiencing a bit of slowdown and I was starting to consider the need to get a proper desktop to replace it. Then I started getting unusual interference from my graphics tablet, and I became concerned there was an issue with connection. I tried various things, including getting a new cable for the tablet, replacing the laptop battery, updating and reinstalling drivers but in the end the problem seemed to be the hdmi port in the laptop itself. And so I bit the bullet and now I have a new ASUS desktop with all the trimmings. In some ways I wish I had done this before, and now that I have all the software here I can work on art again. Losing a week in work time has been a pain though, and now I’m catching up with commissions before I head off to Glasgow for ACME! I’ll be at ACME on the weekend of the 28th-29th selling my comics and shabbits in their Comic Village at table CVA03! I’m really looking forward to being back in Glasgow and looking forward to having a couple of days to explore and have fun. For more details about the convention see the links below.

Firstly a big thank you to everyone who visited me last month at Hyper Japan. It was great meeting so many people and having a chance to share so much of my work. I got some very positive feedback about my comics and it makes me very excited to continue work on Visions of the Phantomfield Book 2. I have an upcoming event next weekend at the Cartoon Musuem, where I will be running a table as part of their small press event on Saturday 17th August. I will have the table between 12 and 1.30 and I’ll be selling copies of all my comics, plus Shabbit merchandise such as the Shabbit plushie and the new Shabbit tote bag. If you’re in the area please stop by and say hi! For more details see the link below.

A quick update, as there’s been a couple of changes to plans since my last update a few months ago. First I will say that progress on the Shabbit side of things has been a little slow, but I have some big things coming soon (hopefully in time for Hyper Japan). I don’t want to give too much away but this little promo is a new piece of merch that I will excited to debut. The Yokai March book I had plans to debut has been postponed. In the end I ran out of time to get the writing done, and I didn’t want to rush the process and bring out a substandard book. I hope to continue working on it after Hyper Japan, and then I can debut it at another show later in the year. I also want to sell more of my other yokai work to make room for the new. I’ve put a few more events up. As well as doing Hyper Japan later this month, I am happy to say that I will be returning to Glasgow in September to sell my works. I’ve always wanted to do another convention up there and I look forward to seeing more of the city again. I’ve also signed up for Megacon London next year to go alongside Megacon Dublin, which is always a blast!
