A fun night at the authors dinner with my fellow Isle of Wight Literary Festival authors. All notably more famous than me. But I’m the only person who took a selfie.

Today I was a bit busy with other stuff so didn't get any Romeo and Juliet drawn. But, with 5 days to go, here's a bit I did earlier.

Whoo-hoo! Check me out, all over the South Wales Argus.

Not the easiest story to find, and I'll see where I am in the printed copy later if I can find one. Let's see how many millions this brings into the Kickstarter (runs for 7 more days) shall we?

Today I have mostly been having a fun day at the Lakes meeting people. Then I've only gone & spent ages colouring pages of Romeo and Juliet, so I'm missing the blooming launch event. It's like I really enjoy doing comics or something

Here's a bit I just coloured, Kickstarter runs for a fortnight

Today I've drawn a tiny bit of Romeo and Juliet. It's all getting a bit dark now...

Kickstarter runs for another 16 days. You don't have to appear in any of these scenes, promise (spoiler alert, a few people don't come out of this scene well. Or at all.)

Blimey! Title sequence from Netflix's #HauntedHotel ripped off from BBC's #Ghosts, much?

Kev F Comic Artist @kevfcomicartist.bsky.social · 21d

Wow brilliant. I hope (the Loch Ness Monster not as good as, for example?)

All ready and raring for a second rambunctious rollicking riotous day at Wales Comic Con in Llangollen. Bring on the punters!

Kev F Comic Artist @kevfcomicartist.bsky.social · 23d

Today I reached a milestone on my Romeo and Juliet #graphicnovel, when I laid out the last page (turns out it's 179 pages) & pencilled a good few. Here's one I drew earlier.

The #Kickstarter has 22 days to go. Still time to be part of it!

As we pay tribute to the smashing Robert Redford, it’s worth remembering again his 2017 film, whose title meant it was really hard to publicise in the UK

Let us raise a toast and never forget the man who brought us Our Souls At Night.

Penguins In A Volcano (also a Poop title), the comics made with kids at Chiswick Book Festival this weekend. Thanks so much for coming everyone - and for buying a quite impressive number of books afterwards.

My Comic Art Masterclasses are taking bookings into next year, you know where to find me.

Hmm, what a lot of genuine interest you get when you post your #Kickstarter on Twitter these days. Thanks guys, your pledges are what counts.

Today I rounded off a week of drawing Romeo & Juliet by coming to the end of Act Four. Very satisfying. Here's a sliver.

Today I have been mostly drawing Romeo and Juliet, including this bit of step-and-repeat (it's not all step-and-repeat, in case anyone feels cheated by me not doing a whole new drawing every panel. I think I do it four times, it just happens I did it with yesterday's screen grab too).
