"Adrift on a Painted Sea by @tim-bird.bsky.social. Such a cool concept and the painting/drawing feels so natural when it overlaps. You can see subtle connections and influences between Sue's and Tim's work." - George Wylesol (2120)

"Who Killed Nessie? is a great mashup of unexpected genres that has an engaging take on a well-worn trope with fun, lively, and colorful characters that is well paced and well constructed." - @pidgecomics.bsky.social

Who Killed Nessie was SO MUCH FUN!
Cryptids have a lot of feelings and I’m in full support! Also enjoyed the very chill Baba Yaga depiction :>

After my panel I hopped onto a train to Harrogate, which proved to be the Comics Train, full of comics people. That evening I visited the @averyhill.bsky.social exhibition at the Mercer Gallery, which I’ve already enthused about on here. Suffice to say it’s excellent and you should go.

So that was an amazing @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social. Finding new artists, seeing #BF6toWatch stars, leading the @averyhill.bsky.social exhibition tour, and just hanging out. Sublime! (Tour photo by @pigeonface.bsky.social.)

Also I guide tours now. Tour-guiding is cool.

On the train to Thought Bubble! Maybe see you (yes, YOU) at the @averyhill.bsky.social Exhibition at the Mercer Gallery tonight? If not, hopefully see you at table C36 in Comixology Hall 🖤
🚨 This weekend, I’ll be tabling @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social!

It’s been 10 years since tabling solo. I’m excited to return to the most important festival in the UK comics calendar, but also surprisingly anxious.

Come find me at COMIXOLOGY HALL C36 and give me an encouraging pat on the back.

I’m at the @averyhill.bsky.social exhibit at the Mercer Gallery, a few minutes walk away from the Thought Bubble halls, and it’s fantastic. The entire gallery, taken over by UK comics.

The @averyhill.bsky.social show at the Mercer Gallery is absolutely brilliant. I think this is the first exhibit I’ve seen in the UK that explains the craft of graphic novel making for the general public. Also stands as a great testament to the beautiful books they’ve put out over the years.
