I'll be at @comicartfestival.bsky.social next weekend, and @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social in November! Come and see me! I'm thinking of taking a recovery year next year so I'm not sure if I'll be applying to many / any shows.

I just recoloured the cover for my comic, The Eternal Mountain, Chapter 1. I've been working on Chapter 2 recently too. I can't wait to share more with you soon.
What do you think of this recolouring? I liked the previous design but felt it was maybe getting lost among my other comics somehow.

Generally speaking, I don't really know what I'm doing.
Here's the process for this spread from Haru: Book 1. I'm proud of how these books have turned out, and I'm so excited for the third book to be coming out soon.
