Greetings! There’s been quite a few things happening these past few months, including a trip out to India and Sri Lanka as part of a family wedding event. Both were new countries for me and I had a great time, even if I did have my phone stolen at the very end. Since I got back at the end of February I have been busy sorting out things in my life and getting back into commissions to get some income in. However, I will be getting into more of my own work too, especially as I get closer to my next big convention: Hyper Japan 2024!
Before that though, I am happy to announce that I will be involved in the upcoming Manga Cafe Takeover event happening in London on Saturday 27th April. Here I’ll be presenting a yonkoma and giving a little introduction along with other manga artists, and encouraging the audience to produce their own comics for the events. If you’re in London on that Saturday please check us out and follow the link here for tickets
Looking ahead, here are my plans for the next few months:
- A new Yokai March book that will complete the series. A lot of Yokai March material, including the old print series, is going to be retired to make room for more original material, with more focus on both Visions of the Phantomfield and East of the Moon.
- Visions of the Phantomfield Book 2 is currently being thumbnailed. My aim is to have it ready for October this year, which means I will need to speed up a little bit, but I would like to produce at least one of these books a year to keep the series rolling.
- New Shabbit merchandise to compliment the books. My aim is to have some new merch ready for Hyper Japan in July. I am still finalising which pieces will go through, but I will be announcing more of them in the next few weeks.
- More of Counting Shabbits to be uploaded here on dreadlevi.com
That’s all for now, I look forward to sharing more soon.
