A scrawly comic about the anti-abortion protesters I see every time I go in to work
Hourlies 2026- I was too sick on the 8th to do them but took notes and drew them yesterday. Better Later than never!
Our Thought Bubble neighbors were the talented and lovely @rowanfrewin.bsky.social @zombifiend.bsky.social + @izzyhatherell.bsky.social + Oli! I can’t wait to read their work when I get home.
I forgot to share here that Treading Water won an award!! Thank you to everyone who voted for it in the public vote for Changemakers Choice Award- small press comic of the year! This was such a lovely surprise and it's so nice knowing that my queer little graphic novel resonated with people 🌊
Some rare photos of me! I don't love having my photos taken, but felt important to celebrate the fact that my debut graphic novel, Treading Water, is now available at @goshcomics.bsky.social I popped in yesterday to sign some copies
Might as well try and get some eyes on our work while the current Comics Discourse is still going... So, if you want comics media that really does try and do better check out Broken Frontier's mission and ethos here. www.brokenfrontier.com/introducing-...

and also extremely excited to share that I'm part of this year's @shortboxcomicsfair.bsky.social ✨
Writing the intro for @brokenfrontier.bsky.social's Pride Month coverage this year felt both difficult and more crucial than ever this time. Celebration definitely goes hand in hand with defiance this year. Dear god what a world we live in. All starts Monday at BF.
We've had confirmation now that Becky is back in the UK with her parents. It's felt like a very long 9 days since we first posted about this awful ordeal for one of our BF family. We're so pleased to hear this news. Welcome home, Becky! #BringBeckyHome #BeckyisHome
Broken Frontier@brokenfrontier.bsky.social · 2y agoDeeply concerning news about our friend and former BF teammate Rebecca Burke whose backpacking trip to the US has ended with her being detained by ICE for over ten days, with no clear timeline for her release.

A reminder to my fellow illustrators who do client work- clients should not be asking you to sign over your copyright!! (Unless they want to give you A LOT of money)

Some follow-up thoughts on BF today about our friend R. E. Burke if you want to know more about her contributions to the UK comics community. She's one of the kindest and most generous people I've worked with at BF and her detention by ICE is horrific. - Andy www.brokenfrontier.com/bring-becky-...

A reminder in these worrying times that we offer free advertising on @brokenfrontier.bsky.social for marginalised comics creators bringing stories of their lived experiences to wider audiences. I outlined how to get in touch with me about that last week here: www.brokenfrontier.com/diversity-eq...

It's #LGBTQ+HistoryMonth in the UK. New followers of mine might not know that trans history is a big focus in my artistic practice, and a few years ago I made an illustrated zine called 'A Potter Trans History'. I thought I'd share a couple of pages with you here!
Riso printed some little puzzle purses! It uses text from a real 12thc love letter sent from one nun to another 💖
