SBCF closes today at 8pm UK time! I want to take a moment to say a heartfelt thank you to all the fair artists, and to the wonderful SBCF readership for their support. After 12+ years of knocking about in comics, I'll be taking a break next year, but hope to be back in 2027. Zainab✨🌻

Looking for feedback on "How to Strike" a guide for everybody :) drive.proton.me/urls/AEQ3N6B...

It’s all about momentum

Flip it on it’s head

Official statement on ICE cosigned by 130+ KidLit & YA authors and illustrators. We are calling on publishers to not preemptively censor themselves in the face of this current administration and to protect marginalized creators. 🧵

plus art and zines can be used to help fight the fires and educate one another. It can change lives for the better

Please don’t stop making art because you feel guilt about doing so in these times. It’s your life raft that helps you hold on and I promise you it’s helping other people hold on too. Don’t ignore and look away from what’s happening but don’t let it paralyze you either
