We're revelling in the release of a new Star Cat collection from James Turner and Yasmin Sheikh. Unicorns in Space is delightfully silly and laugh out loud funny.

Every message I send feels heavier than the last, as though words themselves are exhausted by our pain. My brother and I endure hunger that stains our bones, nights that swallow our dreams. Yet I write again, because silence is surrender. We need your help 💔🙏🏻

So stoked for this!!

This morning I’ve got a hand care seminar that the Phoenix have organised for all their artists, and I just wanted to give them a shout out because I think that is a pretty cool thing to do.

Not me absolutely freaking out about this beautiful round boi 😭❤️‍🔥

Mondo Mascots @mondomascots.bsky.social · Jun 25

Circular is the mascot for the German Pavilion at the Osaka 2025 Expo. The round character represents the circular economy.

A round mascot with rosy cheeks stands on a stage.

Yasmin Sheikh @nerderella.bsky.social · Jun 21

Hmmm Found this character design too but not sure what his name is (the guy with the blue hair) The other I have no idea 😅 maybe just a villager?

Yasmin Sheikh @nerderella.bsky.social · Jun 21

Ahhh yes, I saw this design somewhere. It's the coach for the little mermaid!

Yasmin Sheikh @nerderella.bsky.social · Jun 21

Robert, It was brilliant. I laughed so hard my partner had to come check if I was okay.

Yasmin Sheikh @nerderella.bsky.social · May 31

It's so sooo good!

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/...
