It's a new con for me so very excited to attend! If you're going, come say hi, you'll find me at table 33.

Wee sneak peak of another folding comic I'm working on.

I learned so much from making The Tower, and I have ideas for a few more as well. It's fun to make comics that are meant to be displayed as well as read!

First speckled wood buttefly I've ever seen in my garden! These handsome brown butterflies have been slowly spreading up the East Coast of Scotland.

Me with this mornings bagged trig. Poor Hilton trig . - moved and dumped. So undignified, felt quite sad for it!

I’ve added my signature to the Comics Cultural Impact Collective’s report, asking DCMS for investment in comics.

Read the report at public.3.basecamp.com/p/uGFiRwafLY... and sign at forms.gle/mk6iTZK9yUDV....

Writing the bird page for 'How to Watch Wildlife' today.

Julie Campbell @juliecampbelldraws.bsky.social · Apr 6

They also don't provide any info about where things are to punters. You get your wrist band and not even a leaflet showing venues/events etc. Constantly having to look online to see where things were, and what was on when. Not every visitor is a Dundee Uni student or knows thr Uni well.

I know right? Next on the list to teach them is the ridiculous 'little-bit-of-bread-and-no-CHEESE' of the yellowhammer. Heard them start singing this just last week. Love spring!

Julie Campbell @juliecampbelldraws.bsky.social · Apr 3

I have forced everyone around me to learn it and test them constantly. 'What's that bird?', '*sigh*...ummm..chiff chaff?' 'Correct, you have passed the test, now look forward to being aware of that bird your whole life'. Yay!

You can hear that squeaky bike wheel 'chiff chaff' all around right now! Have you heard one?

RSPB Scotland @rspbscotland.bsky.social · Apr 3

Chiffchaffs are back 💚 Their unmistakeable chiff-chaffing tune is a sure sign that spring has sprung!
These little warblers are olive-brown in colour and can be seen flitting through trees and shrubs.
