Super excited to see @simonbirks.com & Pietro's One More Year nominated for THREE(!) @selkieawards.org.

An absolutely wonderful book to letter, Simon's story is so poignant and touching, whilst also heartbreaking. Pietro's art is STELLAR! Such emotion and character. Made lettering it very easy.

Be amazing if £1.5m could be invested in the UK comics scene, wouldn’t it? Someone’d need to build a fully-costed, well-reasoned argument to DCMS for such a thing first, I guess…

WELL, NOW. Come see what your friends at CCIC have done! www.thecomicsculturalimpactcollective.org/CCIC%20DCMS%...

Hey! I just won a Selkie award for 'best art' for Torse! This is lovely! I seemed very rude during the awards though as my laptop sound cut out, and wasn't letting me write in the chat. Congrats to everyone though! This is nice
