I can't make it this year, but if you're anywhere near Glasgow on Saturday, get to sequentialscotland.co.uk - probably the best-run indie-comic-centric comic event I can think of (& I've been to many & organised some myself so I know my potatoes & by potatoes I mean comic events) ALSO FREE BAGS

Sequential Scotland Comic Con

There’s going to be so much amazing art, comics and books on Saturday 🤩 And to help you carry it all Cass Art have gifted us these awesome tote bags free to the first 200 of you through the door!

Do you like understated cuteness? Bit of will-they-wont-they drama? Woodland-y fairy magic stuff but with coherent and complex world-building? SMOOCHING? Then get this!

It's here! It's ready! My new romance comic Leaf Litter is now available to purchase over on my itch store OR if you want a physical copy I will have them at LICAF later this year <3 pppond.itch.io/leaf-litter

I’ve been meeting up with local comics creators for a few months and we’ve made an anthology of our work! We’re going to launch it on @smallpressday.bsky.social at the Waiting Room in Winchester

Today I organised for us lot in the #PaperJamComicsCollective to do a #Riso workshop with #foundationpressat the #baltic Next step is to make one, or two, comics together by this process.

Just over a week to go on this fantastic illustrated-puzzle-narrative project (that I vaguely assisted with some playtesting/editing on)...

It's also worth noting that we picked the theme because Paper Jam itself turned 18 years old (now 19), old enough to drink in pubs and JOIN ITSELF. I don't think we've got anyone in who was born after it started yet, but it will happen. Horrifying how long I've been clarting around with comics.

Our post-covid-lockdown era comics have been: Sea (melancholy), Mythology (rude), Great Jam Parade (silly), and with Growing Up we are back round to melancholy again. I think those are our three main emotions and our next anthology is likely to be rude. Anyway, buy this, it's good.
