I have a story in this anthology from Warden Comics that is launching soon on Kickstarter.
It's a 'Dangers of AI' allegory fed through the Lovecraftian machine and the art is incredible, so please go and follow the campaign!

Me and @swanmice.bsky.social made a comic about Imbolc, which was yesterday!
Elevator pitch is that it's a way to bring in the first signs of spring by honouring St Brigid
