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.

My good pal @ilyagraphic.bsky.social is in the final days of his kickstarter for his all ages graphic novel ROMO the WolfBoy. It's a beautiful piece of work that throughly deserves the backing so please head on over to kck.st/3FqdMcS and considering making a pledge to see him over the line.

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/...

Let me give you a close up look at the Fawn Pin badge collection from The Phoenix Comic. All badges are available now on the Phoenix Shop and would make a great stocking filler for any Fawn fans you may know. Here's a link to the pin badge page on the shop. thephoenixcomic.shop/collections/...

FAWN And The Fire Spirit begins this week. The Fire Spirit has become increasingly concerned about Fawn's out of control powers. Can Fawn survive their confrontation? Find out in this weeks issue of the Phoenix Comic!

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.

Fawn's first story 'THE CURSED WOLF' appeared way back in issue 481 of the Phoenix Comic. It was written as a short 3 part story to pitch a new character to my editor. Who could have imagined Fawn would still be on her quest to find her mother nearly 200 issues later. Images continue in thread.

Wow! Great likeness. My 16 year old daughter requested the same this year. Think you nailed the look better though.
