I won't be at Lightbox Expo (I wish!) but if all goes well, my little sketchbook will be for sale at Stuart Ng's booth.

It'll be a version that's produced locally, with a printed cover, so I don't have to ship 150 hand drawn ones across the ocean.

I picked and scanned a cover I sketched during a con very recently.

Here's a very early peek at something I've been working on!

I want to take my first stab at running a small crowdfunding campaign, and hope to join pintopia 2026 for it early next year.

If all goes well I'm teaming up with Ken's Pin Hustle! To help with shipping from and to EU and the US, and to do a cross collab where people who back both our projects get a special bonus.

You can already sign up to be notified if you want to help us out!

(I've also been thinking of making a plush for really long... but that's future talk for now)

Here’s one of the guys. They just need actual line art, which I hope I can make some time for soon.

Here's a WIP of what will hopefully become the early bird reward for my pin campaign.

It's a remake of a hand drawn sticker I made 20 years ago, when I was 15. It was my very first upload to deviantart, which feels like the start of an era!

Sorted prints! (Was needed, the shelf was a mess)
Some are brand new, and some are 15+ years old...

I'm excited to say that I got accepted into Pintopia 2026, and that I'm teaming up with Ken's Pin Hustle!

That means among other things that if you back both our campaigns, you'll get two exclusive pins, one from each of us, that match the theme of the other campaign.

It's still a while away, but it would be super helpful if you sign up if you're interested, or if you share it with others who might like this. Thanks!

Here's a good old fashioned newsletter update with a bunch of the stuff that has been and will be going on!

New books, upcoming cons, theme parks..

Nice :D

Here they are! The main four pin designs of my upcoming Pintopia campaign. Fingers crossed that they can get made!

I can now share the stretch goals for the pin campaign with you!

Plus a whole load of animal idea scribbles. I just want to draw hundreds of them... all the critters are just so good.

Apologies for not posting much else, I am not allowed to share other things I've been working on and this takes up the rest of my time!

Sometimes you get to put your soul into your work

Make sure to say hi to me at FC, if you're going. That's what I'm there for!
We're usually art jamming at those round tables near the DD most nights.
