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!

Just a quick update after my latest conventions at Megacon London and Megacon Ireland. The latter was a big success and it was great to see familiar faces again. Unfortunately I’m still recovering from some convention flu, and next month I’ll be away for a big family vacation so things will slow down a little. I do have some big plans though. Already I have the working script for Visions of the Phantomfield Book 2, which will introduce a brand new dilemma for Capri and Lévi, and start them on a brand new adventure. Could this be the result of Capri’s mysterious request at the end of Book 1? You will have to wait and see ^^ As well as Phantomfield I will be looking to round off Yokai March with my final set of Yokai that will make up the second Ghostly Journey book. I hope to have these on display next March and that will allow me to get properly started on the book, which I hope to have ready either my May or July at the latest when we get Hyper Japan! I’ll be posting more updates as we get closer to conventions later this year. I will be hopefully posting more of Visions of the Phantomfield on this site, but for now progress is a little slow while I sort other stuff out. Thank you to all those who have been supporting my work and for the nice comments I’ve been getting about the new comic, it means a lot!
