Hiya pals! I'm still kicking about lol!
Life was a bit chaotic last year but set some goals for 2025 and sticking to them. One of them was to finish a new oneshot comic which I am happy to say is now complete!
Best Fiends Forever will be a new oneshot comic that'll be available physically from August (debut at Sequential Scotland) and will be uploaded starting from 31 October 2025 (Hallowe~eny time). They're based on paper dolls i've been selling since I started selling at cons post covid, hope you all enjoy the chaos these girls bring.
Next is the big project I wanted to draw for years (as spoken about in previous comics) but couldnt focus on a lot, I aim to proper proper start it this year at least.
Cheers guys and see yous on Halloween!

*Opens the dusty window* Hullo pals, its been a while.
Starting tonight i'll be uploading a daily comic of a new ExtraTerraceTrial chapter for a week because Scotland getting into the Euros and doing the very first game with Germany is a comic idea I couldn't skip.
I'll also be doing a livereact to the game with the ETT Cast via twitter and Instagram stories so please come join the madness and watch Lorna cry.
I hope to return to a weekly posting schedule for the comic soon, and once I have queued up like 20 or so comics like I used to do then I could focus on a new series or maybe some batches of Cream Soda (The fun Milkshake Kisses comics)
To everyone that has read my comics in the past or maybe had followed me recently, thank you so much! I hope to bring more comic madness to you all soon.

Hiya folks! 2023 was certainly a time wasn't it, and I really dropped my game especially from how many comics I was producing the previous few years.
For 2024 I have decided to set some goals for myself. I made a resolution to draw everyday no matter what, even doodles will do, and so far i've been keeping that promise (check out my instagram stories for these daily updates!)
My next goal is to get back into comics, and i'm happy to say i've been working on something for hourly comic day (cheating this time since i'd be too busy at work to do an hourly draw, instead I draw for an hour each night so its essentially similar right????) This year I decided to go 80s hasbro and turn my chocolate box fairy charms into a short comic story. I will post the pages every hour on my twitter on 1st February and keep these live for 48 hours. Dont panic tho! I will upload the story here weekly from 14th February.
Next theres two projects I wanna work on. One is a brand new comic story (10 chapters) that i've been cooking on for a few years. Infact i'd been thumbnailling them at comic cons since 2022. This year im gonna get my arse into gear and get to work on it. Its full colour again (Just like Milkshake Kisses) and the scenery I want to be spectacular. But we'll see how this goes. My next project is writing a childrens book. I had a series I created in College that I want to bring to life in a form of a novel. This ones really out of my reach I think but it'll be worth a shot either way. Hopefully next time you hear about this one will be me pointing at a WH Smith going "Take a look at that!" loooool if only.
Anyway if you're still around, thanks so much for keeping me in your inboxes. I hope you look forward to the silly musings of the Chocolate Box Fairies (Remember, follow my twitter on 1st February for hourly updates!)
Speak soon!

Hello all! Quick update as i've been a bit quiet on Tapas and Webtoons for a bit.
First of all, i'm in the middle of moving house! Got a wee flat and been working on it the past few weeks to get it in shape in-between work, hopefully will be moving in the end of next month. Going to have an office aswell, no more working from a folded table on the bed \o/
Second, my comics are now available in Forbidden Planet in Glasgow!! One of my goals was to be able to have my comics in the local section of the shop, its surreal to see my work out in the open. If you're around please take a wee look!
Once I am settled I will be coming back with more work soon! Thanks so much for your patience and take care \o/

Hello everyone! Long time no update.
My last post was back in Hogmanay 2021, with all the plans I had i'm happy to say some have come to fruition.
Firstly, I will be returning to Comic Con Artist Alleys, I will be at table CC9 at ACME Comic Con this weekend in Glasgow! If you're around please say hi! I have stepped away from fanart for this one and going for original content, plus I will have the first issues of Milkshake Kisses and ExtraTerraceTrial up for sale!!
I remember back when I started going to cons in 2012 and seeing the artist alleys and dreaming of releasing a comic one day, I am thrilled to be at this position now a decade on.
After this con I will be relaunching my etsy store to finally get back online, watch this space for more info!
I still have thoughts of my 3rd series, recently have gained permenant employment so life's been a bit hectic, but I plan to start working on this possibly into 2023.
I also see I reached 250 subscribers on this page, thank you so much for the support! I hope to speak with you all soon with evenmore news.

Happy New Year 2022 for when it comes!
To everyone who has followed or read Milkshake Kisses or ExtraterraceTrial over the year, thank you!
I really did not expect to have been so active in comics this year; in total I have created 29 full coloured ages, 62 4-panel strips mixed of black/white and colour, and my first web-scroller chapter (Plenty more to come in future!)
2022, if current life permits, I plan to do a lot of things;
- Comic Con Artist Alley! I plan to re-enter the scene if restrictions permit, and from here I will now start creating...
- More Original Content! I want to make original prints, original charms, original badges, I want to be able to create new things beyond fanart, and from here this means for non Scottish followers...
- Reopening of my Etsy shop! and yes I plan to stock some physical comics on here too so keep your eyes out.
Lastly an update on my comic series; 2022 will see Milkshake Kisses coming to a close after the current Summer Holiday arc. I love my girls, I did not expect to have even went beyond the Prologue but I was gifted time I never expected to have and I made full use of it. The magic of their story is that while it may finish for now, they can continue on in future. Thank you to everyone who followed their story and growth and please enjoy the fun of their Summer Holiday adventure during these Winter months.
This will now allow me to develop a 3rd series i've been planning for a while now, I want to expant my writing capabilities further into a story that has a beginning and an end and I want to develop characters and watch them grow through the hardships. I look forward to working on this new adventure.
ETT will continue as planned, I have so much to tell for these characters and lots of adventures planned for them.
Here's to a great year, wishing you all the best. Take care and speak soon!
