🚨 This weekend, I’ll be tabling @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social!
It’s been 10 years since tabling solo. I’m excited to return to the most important festival in the UK comics calendar, but also surprisingly anxious.
Come find me at COMIXOLOGY HALL C36 and give me an encouraging pat on the back.

On the train to Thought Bubble! Maybe see you (yes, YOU) at the @averyhill.bsky.social Exhibition at the Mercer Gallery tonight? If not, hopefully see you at table C36 in Comixology Hall 🖤

I was asked by @scottishbooktrust.bsky.social to adapt a short story by Aileen MacAlister into a comic to celebrate the release of the Book Week Scotland collection.
It’s about friendship. And losing a parent. It was a privilege to adapt it.

The recent success of the Basic Income for Artists pilot scheme in Ireland has led to it being made permanent. 🙌 As a result interest is growing over here, and CCIC have started having discussions with Basic Income campaigners. If this thing takes off, we want to get comics in on the ground floor!

Come see us at Edinburgh’s #RadicalBookFair on Sunday!
We’re looking forward to meeting local activists and talking about using socialist journalism to support our movements.

The #RadicalBookFair is as much about community as it is about books - a space for connection, for learning, for taking action.
So Sunday we host stalls from grassroots groups, local initiatives, bookish collaborators & activist campaigns, come meet the people making change on your doorstep!

I had a really good chat with @chrislaumanson.bsky.social and @tomhumberstone.com at TAGS Festival last weekend about what we, the independent comic community, can do to push our scene forward. A lot of what we discussed is UK- or world-wide rather than just pertinent to Scotland but I'll recap:

I caught Tom's talk on AI and art this weekend. Very interesting and some good tips. I think it could have easily turned into a 4 hour 'coping with AI' support session if we'd had time. I can recommend the the accompanying Luddite collection. We've been doing them wrong all these years!
All set up @tagsfest.co.uk and repping a beautiful new tee by Ryan Hamill. Very relevant to my talk at 3.30pm!
