CRASSH Submission

Posted on 14/01/2025 by Jasmine

I’ve found out today that my art submission is going to be featured at the Centre of Research in the Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities of the University of Cambridge (UK) as part of their Fairy-Tale Trouble and the Art of Fluidity exhibition! I’m SO happy!!

My submission is called ‘The Lonely Selkie’ and features a very gloomy and moody pencil drawing of a coast with a little, white seal and threatening-looking house. I don’t think I can share the image here yet until the exhibition is over but I will share the link once it’s live.

It’s so amazing to see more of my latest artworks be accepted into something – the other being SpiderForest. For me, it’s a milestone as it took me years to find my style and niche so to see it be liked by others warms my heart <3

New Comics of the Week

Posted on 12/01/2025 by Jasmine

Hi everyone!

It’s been a hectic beginning of the year thanks to work so I’m glad to post an update here. I’ve been missing working on my comic lately so I’ll be working on the next page soon! I miss the days when I would create a new page every week as I love seeing the story progress. My new job has taken a toll on me during the first week back after the Christmas holidays, it adds to me wondering if it’s even worth it. I’ve been feeling that a lot more lately. In my heart no it isn’t, but I’m holding on for the family. I worry plans will change out of my control despite me ‘knowing’ what’s coming.

Alongside this, I’ve diverged a little from my original PhD proposal as I experimented with new ideas and it left my supervisors a little confused. I am hoping I can turn this back around and I am confident I can. Just means more writing, meh!

On a positive note, I’m delighted to share the new Comics of the Week from SpiderForest so please visit and have a read if you haven’t already. I am hoping to come back with more positive news in my next update 😀

Indomitable Spirits


In a post apocalypse it takes extra strength of will to make it through. These stories are full of just those kinds of people.


All Legends Die
All Legends Die – Cabal has fought against Death before and one, but eventually the bill must come due.

LOSTLAND
LOSTLAND – LOSTLAND is a supernatural, post-apoc adventure story following the tales of four travelers and the little twists of fate that bind them both to each other, and to one man’s grand design for this new world. Prepare for crazy humor, intense action, and a touch of mystery, all rolled into a world that changes all who travel through it.

Pneuma Vita
Pneuma Vita – A post-apocalyptic story about love.

Welcome 2025

Posted on 02/01/2025 by Jasmine

Here we are in the new year. There are a lot of things I’m dreading expecting to happen this year but I am also looking forward to a lot of things! The longer days, how my studies are going to play out, etc. There are also a couple of things I want to get back into, like fishing and bushcraft, and I am excited for new possibilities (like remote working and a better financial situation). So many positives coming my way.

The geopolitical situation is what I am watching most closely with wary eyes. It no doubt is going to escalate but there’s nothing we can do about it. It’s best to stick to the things can keep you happy and hopeful for the future. So in the meantime, SpiderForest have started their Comics of the Week! That’s something most exciting so please have a read below:

Seek and Ye Shall Find


We all seek something… and in our attempt we often find, but not always what it was at the outset.


The Quest of Casey Tailor
The Quest of Casey Tailor – The Quest of Casey Tailor is about a kid trying to save his baby sister who was kidnapped by a fairy, he has no idea why though and when he runs into problems at the royal palace seemingly there are more questions then answers.

Clover and Cutlass
Clover and Cutlass – The daughter of an orc warlord falls for a girl her family wants dead. If they can’t stop her parents from ending the world, how’s she ever gonna ask her out?

Prophet of the Sun
Prophet of the Sun – Prophet of the Sun is about a selfish loser trying to dodge the consequences of making a deal with the devil.

Nadolig Llawen!

Translated from Cymraeg (Welsh): Merry Christmas!!

What an amazing and adventurous year it has been. I’ve listed what’s happened before in one of my previous posts but this is the time of year where it really hits home. I am eager to see how 2025 will play out; a few things I am hoping to happen and a few things I am expecting to happen. I won’t be specific as it will expand this post to ridiculous proportions so I would rather focus on this amazing day.

I’m not sure when the next comic update will be but the plan is to get one page done in January :]

Currently stuffed from Christmas lunch… wishing you all good cheer, I’ll catch you later…

Storm Darragh

Posted on 15/12/2024 by Jasmine

I managed to get TWO comic pages done this week due to Storm Darragh hitting Wales very harshly. My work had closed and the internet was down (other than my phone data which allowed me to upload) so it was a perfect time to get this month’s update done, plus another!

I had to switch networks to get my internet again due to the roll-out of the 3G network on a UK-wide basis (the UK is acting suspiciously in terms of its new legislations due to the recent election and I know the reason why) so here I am now.

It’s been quite a scarce Christmas this year but I am all the same looking forward to the food, drink and merriment. We’re due to break up for two weeks after this coming one so I’m very happy about that! In other news I have decided that I definitely want to pursue comic making as the medium for expressing my PhD research. I look forward to where it’s going to go. Teague Fagan has always been a result of the inspiration I’ve received from my research, especially this version after the first draft, so I am curious where it’s going to go from here.

Roll on the new year and the new experiences that await.

Possible Medium for PhD research

Posted on 02/12/2024 by Jasmine

The possibility of using comics as a medium to express my research was brought up in my latest discussion with my supervisor last week. It did cross my mind that I could potentially do a series of images to tell a story and I have mentioned before that this webcomic is inspired by what I am researching (along with my personal interests like pirates, port towns, etc of course!) but I realised I never fully embraced the idea for my PhD research directly.

I am very excited at the idea, imagining all the things I could do! Especially with comic research and linking it to old forms of sequential storytelling from ancient civilisations, considering image making was the first form of written communication. So I will consider that over the winter period. I initially thought it a bit samey when I learned that another PhD student of my supervisor is using comics for their project but perhaps it’s actually a good thing, I can take full advantage of an expert then!

I am finishing up my Cambridge art this week so I will be back to making the next comic page soon!

Webcomic Update

Posted on 24/11/2024 by Jasmine

Hi all!

Apologies for no comic update this week. I’ve focused all of my attention on an artwork for a call for artwork and papers by Cambridge University based on ecofeminism and the fluidity of water. Very relevant to my current PhD research so the prospect of being featured is very exciting.

It’s ironic really because I’m really eager to do the next page after how I left the last one. The draft is done so it is on it’s way! In the meantime, have this sketch, Teague is very pissed:>

Shading…

Posted on 03/11/2024 by Jasmine

I’m starting to realise how much shading makes a difference. Teague in the latest comic update looks so much better and more mature, exactly how I envisioned him to be. Comparing that to the others really highlights how boyish he looks in comparison (and trust me, he’s no teenager).

I’m taking that into account for future comic pages. Hopefully I’ll be able to fit that development in!

Story tweaks

Posted on 02/11/2024 by Jasmine

I’ve been really missing old coastal towns recently, particularly Cornwall and Pembrokeshire. Being reminded of them on occasion helps keep me grounded when my mind becomes too noisy. ‘Teague Fagan’ as a comic was one I started out of fun, through my love for these places and the sea. When the worries of making it more established for an audience rose up, it suddenly became less fun because instead of keeping it focused, I added more plot points, more characters, more arcs to establish; thus making it a bigger project to complete. I think that’s what’s caused me to struggle to continue over the last few months and made me want to re-think the storyline; re-establishing what made me want to start it in the first place.

If you made it this far, thank you for reading my mini brain fart. It’s actually nice to write my thoughts down ^^

Managing the work load

Posted on 28/10/2024 by Jasmine

Managed to complete the next page! 😀

I was worried I wouldn’t be able to make this month’s update as it’s been such a hectic few weeks. I’ve been worried about getting a new car for work and affording to get it serviced. The end is in sight now thank goodness with the worst of it over. My family have been wonderfully helpful, couldn’t have done it without them <3

My art is going to be focusing on starting my PhD project now. It’s hard going back and forth between whether I can continue with the comic or not because I do want to keep going but at the same time I do need to use my time wisely, as I have very little spare.

I’ll work on the comic when I can because no doubt I will like to come back to have a break from my PhD work. In the meantime, I hope you like the new page!
