You can also visit Vision & Labour, an @averyhill.bsky.social retrospective at The Mercer during the festival, and pick up prints/merch of the epic poster I created for the show!
A very densely illustrated poster of an exhibition hall with the roof removed. You can see inside and spot lots of characters from Avery Hill books milling around appreciating art, drinking free wine and misbehaving.

It’s almost time for @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social! I’m a guest this year, and you can find me at A13 in the 2000AD Hall all weekend.
I’ll have a debut comic, plus a new mini from earlier this year:
A map of my table location at Thought Bubble festival. Plus a drawing of me behind my table looking pleased to meet you. A colourful collage of 2 new books for Thought Bubble. One is called “my new hobby craves violence” with the caption “32p spooky one shot about a killer new hobby” and the other is called “Moon Mart” with the caption “magical riso comic about an ethereal market ~ folds out into a poster!”

Cover reveal! My New Hobby Craves Violence will debut @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social 🪴
Pip is bored, burnt out and blocked by her ex - the perfect time to pick up a new hobby. As Pip joins an online amateur botany forum, obsessions grow, spores spread and a new community of fans might just consume her
The cover of my new comic book. A character stands centrally, casually holding on to a house plant and watering can. They are surrounded by leaves, thorns, tendrils and weird dripping flowers. Title text reads: “My New Hobby Craves Violence”

Thrift Goblin…. Because I’ll be gobblin up the weirdest second hand treasures at the charity shop.
A colourful busy illustration full of anthropomorphic objects surrounding a little lady holding a painting of a castle. The central text says “THRIFT GOBLIN”. Cartoon objects include a slightly angry teapot, keen jumper guy, content silver spoon, cursed mirror, insanely happy globe, winking seashell chair, sinister occult book and a lamp with boots on.

Sometimes your car gets so sick, only Enya can save you…
(and a good mechanic of course)

From my latest page of diary comics!
Comic-style cartoon illustration, with the title “CAR SICK” in a green bubble at the top. Underneath is the text “This month my car had to go to the garage”, with a drawing of a poorly looking hatchback underneath, and a mechanic next to it saying “I, uh, dunno… something bad is going on in there” Second panel of the car sick comic - a bubble of text reads “I should’ve known something was wrong when a weird drive over the Pennines stressed me out so much I had to put some Enya on”. Plus a drawing of me looking sweaty and anxious as hell in the drivers seat of a car, with the footnote “only Caribbean Blue can save me now”

Zine Me Up is reprinted and back in stock! Featuring the almost impossible Worfseach in Klingon kriski.etsy.com
My hand holding three Star Trek fanzines I made. The cover features a cosmic illustration of The Enterprise-D spaceship, plus illustrations of Worf, Picard, Guinan, Troi, Data and Geordi. The zine title reads “Zine Me Up” An interior page from the zine, featuring a wordsearch in Klingon. It looks impossible because it almost is, but the answers are at the back it’s ok. Worf encouraged you to hunt down the words like a warrior. The page title is WORFSEARCH.

Baddies love books 📚 recent illustration work that I’m kinda obsessed with 👀 💕
An illustration of a cool lady standing by a big bookcase. She’s wearing a rad outfit and big boots, reading a book. The bookcase is crammed full of books, zines, comics, scrolls and papers. It’s got an inky, comics aesthetic.
