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.

Here are some photos I took of Brockwell Park Community Gardens while I was drawing my book. I hadn’t set out to find photo reference for the book particularly, but the light was gorgeous and I ended up using the photos for this allotment scene!
