I'm off to Glasgow for work tomorrow, and very sad there won't be more touristing... We had such a fab time up there for @sequential-scot.bsky.social 🥰

📖 We have a new resource up on our website for anyone working in small press in Scotland, whether that's comics, tabletop games, zines, prose, poetry, or other non-traditional publishing. Read about the SPS Library at smallpress.scot#resources

Hopefully going again next year if they will have me , don’t often pop my head over the parapet but I really enjoyed this last year and aim to get out more and an excuse to go up the road

Nice! Fingers crossed for the next Sequential Scotland 🤞

Get your diaries ready! The next Sequential Scotland will be happening on Saturday 8th August, again at the Doubletree by Hilton on Cambridge Street in Glasgow: dtt-2025.blogspot.com/2025/09/save... - and don't miss the next TAGS Festival next month

Missed this years, the weekend before TFNation is not one I can spare, but next year it's after TFN so I will definitely be heading along,

Yasssss hwfg

1st one had us talking like it was comic con Woodstock. without all the bad stuff… It was amazing! go sign up to the mailing list

Great to see the plan is to keep Sequential going and growing. First show this year was great, well organised and a cracking day! Scotland badly needs this, there are so very few comic focussed events now.

This year’s debut Sequential Scotland was an absolute joy, one of the highlights of the comics year thus far. This deserves to become a Scottish comics release institution, so I’m glad plans are in place to bring it back for 2026.

SAVE THE DATE Sequential Scotland 2026 will be happening on Saturday August 8th! As with 2025 we will be going for Creative Scotland funding to make this possible. To stay up to date sign up to the mailing list at the website below. And keep your fingers crossed for us! sequentialscotland.co.uk

What's that? The nicest, most well-run, most comics-centric, mid-sized UK comics event is BACK FOR A SECOND YEAR? GET IT IN YER DIARIES!

The UK Comics Creator Survey is now live for you to fill in! If you're over 16, live in the UK and make comics (at any level, for any reason), then the survey wants to hear from you! ukcomicscreators.org.uk

We've written a blog post giving tips and tricks for exhibiting at a comic convention, with input from Thought Bubble exhibitors past and present, and Team Thought Bubble's own experiences in front of, and behind the table! Take a look: www.thoughtbubblefestival.com/blog/2025/9/1

Can't believe it's been a full month since the first ever Sequential Scotland. Getting the amazing photos back through from Rebecca Scolley Photohgraphy was such a treat!

So sorry for the late update, finally got some time off after @sequential-scot.bsky.social and what a blast it was. Thanks to @naniiebim.bsky.social for a great weekend. It's been a while since I have done a convention up in Scotland and it made me realise how much I missed them. A real good time!

And now @sequential-scot.bsky.social joins my Tour of Duty board - proudly so!

Wanted to make a little post to say thank you to Team @sequential-scot.bsky.social and everyone who attended the first one ever on Saturday!! 📚 Let’s continue to make cool comics!!!

I had such a great time at Sequential Scotland comic con in Glasgow this weekend! Thanks so much to @sequential-scot.bsky.social and to everyone who stopped by, I had so many lovely chats with visitors & other artists! ✨🙌💕 Here’s a drawing made while on the train back to Bristol yesterday 🚂🌱🦊🐦🐈‍⬛

Lovely haulage from @sequential-scot.bsky.social 🫶🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿✨ thnx to my art pals who did trades with me tooooo. 🥹💖📚

Where do we even start with trying to say thank you for how incredible Saturday was? The celebratory energy, enthusiasm for art, and support for each other has us brimming with pride for the comics community. Full statement on insta www.instagram.com/p/DM8LPOnNF3...

I’m terrible for forgetting to post my con hauls 😵 but here is my collection from @sequential-scot.bsky.social !! @/wamgoozle (ig) @bytwistwood.bsky.social @beastlyworlds.bsky.social @homenzinho.bsky.social @/szymonchk (ig) @goblinpurwin.bsky.social @dontfoldpress.bsky.social 💖💖💖

To a degree I'm tracing our steps while following the @sequential-scot.bsky.social map - which was especially important for next stop, as the prints I bought don't have signatures/credits and the artist didn't have business card. Zu doesn't appear to be here, but we talked about how riso works.

Yesterday at @sequential-scot.bsky.social was amazing, seeing so many artists and such a strong turnout was great to see. Grabbed as much as a could but probably still spent a lil too much. Gonna keep a better eye out for more events and cant wait for next year!

Had a nice time at Sequential Scotland and Glasgow generally. Good city. Good comics event. Well done the team! Keep an eye on @sequential-scot.bsky.social for any future events!

We talked to loads of folks at @sequential-scot.bsky.social - there were one or two things I genuinely meant to go back for, but obviously a bought loads, and I'm sure there were one or two people I meant to check in with and missed. It was a lot, it was great. Grabbed the con postcards on way out.

So, yesterday was the 1st @sequential-scot.bsky.social event, and this is my thread for the day. Met @adw-mrn.bsky.social for breakfast, before meeting up with @hexthervvv.bsky.social & @jennicoutts.bsky.social to head in. Bumped into @joaosilvawrites.bsky.social later, and missed @alexblott.com

Went to the first @sequential-scot.bsky.social yesterday and had a hugely successful (and expensive) day! The vibes were spectacular and there were so many good artists. Included my post from insta with tags but will tag in reply to this too.

Thank you @sequential-scot.bsky.social. This drawing was begun but never finished because it was such a busy day. So many new artists and good humans! I'm utterly tuckered out.

The haul from @sequential-scot.bsky.social yesterday. So much more stuff there than I was able to pick up but I’ll be back next year for more! Already putting the stickers to work.

Thank you @sequential-scot.bsky.social for a beautifully curated experience that showcased so many different styles, stories, and abilities. I can’t believe it’s the first one you all organised. Everyone was a delight to talk and trade with. 10/10, 5⭐️ Links to artists below 👇

Me and my partner’s haul from @sequential-scot.bsky.social! Had a fantastic time and looking forward to next year, I’m a little biased as my good friend is the organiser but easily the best run and friendliest convention I’ve been to

I'm very glad I tabled at @sequential-scot.bsky.social yesterday. Sold more than expected & ran out of my most recent (partly cos I accidentally packed some faulty copies). Met inspiring artists, creators, and lovely parent-child relationships amongst the visitors. My boy's train mesmerised them.

Haul pic from @sequential-scot.bsky.social - fantastic well-organised convention- hope it returns next year! @johnlees.bsky.social @erikapriceart.bsky.social @jakeparappahainey.bsky.social @skirreh.bsky.social @toadlett.bsky.social @swanlid.bsky.social @blueboltcomics.com @elljwalker.bsky.social

We had such a good time at @sequential-scot.bsky.social yesterday! Thank you everyone who came to say hello! To everyone who came the cosplay competition you all did a great job either being the stars of the show or supporting everyone with your cheers!! Couldn’t have asked for a better crowd!!

A modest but mighty haul from @sequential-scot.bsky.social. Such lovely energy in the room and a chance to see some of my favourite people. Topped off the day with a lovely dinner organised - but not attended - by @johnlees.bsky.social.

Really enjoyed myself at @sequential-scot.bsky.social yesterday. Nice venue, well organised and a very relaxed friendly vibe. Lovely to see a lot of friends old and new. A tough gig to put together these days, but the organisers & staff pulled it off with style. Congrats to Faye and her fab team!

Thanks everyone for a wonderful day at @sequential-scot.bsky.social The energy of the whole event was fantastic!! It was an absolutely great breath of fresh air to the Glasgow comic convention scene. Everyone there wanted to engage with our comics!! #seqentialscotland #indiecomics

Momentarily emerged from beneath piles of books and not a little research to put my other hat on for @bluefoxcomics.com today. Off to Glasgow for today's @sequential-scot.bsky.social with @simonbirks.com!

Hey if you’re anywhere near Glasgow you should check out @sequential-scot.bsky.social today! Lots of highly skilled (and lovely) creators exhibiting top quality comics and art to suit all tastes sequentialscotland.co.uk

First ever @sequential-scot.bsky.social !!! I'm at table 7 all day some come on by!
