Hello all. I'm a comic artist from the UK working exclusively for the Phoenix Comic. I write and draw FAWN and I am series editor on the Skills Hub. Making the move away from Twitter so bear with me as I start to fill up my feed with art and comic news.
I've got a new series starting in the Phoenix Comic this August. Doing an adaptation of the Greek Myths has long been an ambition of mine and to see it finally being realised is very exciting.
Rest assured Fawn will return but in the meantime I hope you enjoy my retelling of the story of Perseus.

This year I had the honour of producing the artwork for the 700th issue of the Phoenix Comic, reimagining a whole host of Phoenix characters as a superhero team. You can also grab the artwork as a huge A1 or A2 poster from the Phoenix shop by following this link: thephoenixcomic.shop/collections/...

@jamiesmart.bsky.social As if you're not on this list. You're always talking about biscuits!
This is a Very Important Starter Pack of Biscuit Connoisseurs. For now, I’ve included people I personally know to have acceptable taste in biscuits. But if you’d like to be added to the list, just reply to this with your top three biscuits, in order, and I shall carefully consider your application

Had the best time @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social this weekend. Met loads of readers and their parents sharing their love of Fawn. Meeting Penelope who dressed up as Fawn too absolutely made my day. Kudos to the girl in the background sporting a Fawn hoodie as well, thank you for supporting the comic.
