Like it says, I'll be in Harrogate this weekend for @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social 2025.
I've got half a table, (C20a) between Sam Hart and Sean Azzopardi's Phatprint Comics, where I'll be flogging the new comic 'MAGICAL' amongst other things.
Hope to see you there.

Late addition to the Uneasy art show at the All Good bookshop on Turnpike Lane, a pricey giclee print of my 'Doomstrolling' strip, in which I take the much missed Yoshi dog for a somewhat fanciful walk around the streets of Seven Sisters.
