Our annual digital Christmas card for Johnny returned for its 3rd year in 2017.

Inaugural project of the Johnny Marrvellous Artists' collective, a new venture between ourselves and fellow fans Riley Langston and Catherine Smith.

For Johnny's 54th birthday in 2017, we decided to try something a little different: a video birthday card, featuring video messages from fans all over the world.

"Marr Shelfie" social media competition, to promote the paperback edition of Set The Boy Free, in conjunction with Penguin Random House UK.

Special edition enamel badges produced for a charity fundraiser, to coincide with Johnny joining the Pet Shop Boys for the Teenage Cancer Trust concert series.

The second edition of our annual digital Christmas card for Johnny, 2016.

A special Set The Boy Free themed mini edition of Dynamic, released just in time for Christmas, 2016.

To help promote Set The Boy Free, we teamed up with Johnny's publishers, Penguin Random House UK, to produce two limited print editions of Dynamic.

Our second special edition book, made as a birthday gift for Johnny in 2016.

Bookmark design competition, to celebrate the then-upcoming release of Set The Boy Free. The winning design, by Anne-Marie White, was chosen by Johnny himself.

The 4th edition of our tour book series, covering the California Jam tour in March 2016.

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the release of The Queen is Dead, we asked our fellow fans what made the album so special to them.

6th issue of Dynamic, released in April 2016. Afterwards, Dynamic was released in print through Penguin Random House UK, then took a small hiatus between tours.

The red edition of our tour book series, covering the October 2015 Adrenalin Baby tour in the UK and Ireland.

Over the 25 hours (...get it?) counting down to midnight on 31 December 2015, we hosted a Johnny-themed New Year's Eve trivia game on our social media accounts, with fans winning badges and other goodies.
