Gift recommendations from Avery Hill creators! “Breakwater by @katrionachapman.bsky.social. There's a real sense of quietness and space… her characters inhabit a place that's familiar, but somehow more peaceful & less populated than the world I live in.” - @avpotts.bsky.social tinyurl.com/yc338fun

Today on SOLRAD, we feature an Exclusive Excerpt of THE PASS by Katriona Chapman, published by Fantagraphics solrad.co/exclusive-ex... @katrionachapman.bsky.social @fantagraphics.bsky.social

After my panel I hopped onto a train to Harrogate, which proved to be the Comics Train, full of comics people. That evening I visited the @averyhill.bsky.social exhibition at the Mercer Gallery, which I’ve already enthused about on here. Suffice to say it’s excellent and you should go.

So that was an amazing @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social. Finding new artists, seeing #BF6toWatch stars, leading the @averyhill.bsky.social exhibition tour, and just hanging out. Sublime! (Tour photo by @pigeonface.bsky.social.) Also I guide tours now. Tour-guiding is cool.

I edited this video for the Avery Hill exhibition and I’m really proud of it! Watch it now on YouTube! 🎬

Great interview w/ @katrionachapman.bsky.social at the Avery Hill exhibit last night. #ComicNewsInsider #ThoughtBubbleFestival #JimmyInTheUK

THOUGHT BUBBLE MONTH review! The Corus Wave – A Lost Theory, a Strange Fossil and a Discovery that Could Change Everything by Karenza Sparks. From @averyhill.bsky.social #ThoughtBubbleatBF25 @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social www.brokenfrontier.com/corus-wave-s... Review by @lydiaturner97.bsky.social

Run don't walk to the @averyhill.bsky.social exhibition at The Mercer this Thought Bubble weekend. It's so incredibly well put together and the comments book shows that it's blowing the minds of people who previously weren't fans of the world's best medium.

Here are some photos I took of Brockwell Park Community Gardens while I was drawing my book. I hadn’t set out to find photo reference for the book particularly, but the light was gorgeous and I ended up using the photos for this allotment scene! #comics #graphicnovel #drawingreference

They arrived in time!! Ahh sweet relief… and pride too, I cannot wait for people to read it

A comic I made when I realised I have aphantasia, and lots of things seemed to make sense suddenly

Worm Kings, Sardine Queens, everyone who is in-betweens: we’re pleased to bring you this excerpt from The Witch’s Egg by Donna Todd, thank you Avery Hill Publishing for sharing this with us www.tcj.com/excerpt-the-...

10 of these sketched in copies left and 10 hours to go to get one! www.kickstarter.com/projects/ave...

We hit 100 backers!!!!!!! To celebrate, here's one of my favourite pages. 8 hours to go. www.kickstarter.com/projects/ave...

That night, it's the PV of @averyhill.bsky.social's exhibition in Harrogate. @streakofpith.bsky.social and I wrote the accompanying brochure with @katrionachapman.bsky.social on design, but also it looks like the exhibition is going to be so excellent. www.thoughtbubblefestival.com/festivalprog...

From my book The Pass, coming out from @fantagraphics.bsky.social in January! And coming out in French from @futuropolis.bsky.social in January too. #comics #graphicnovel

“I Thought I Heard Your Voice Just Then” is a new eight-page comic drawn by @jlaguff.bsky.social and written by myself. You can read it below or purchase it on a pay-what-you-want basis on Itch.io (which I recommend, Bluesky compression being what it is): hagaipalevsky.itch.io/thoughtiheard (1/2)

Our Kickstarter for Was that Normal? by Alex Potts ends in 4 days! Alex has been with us for something like a decade! We genuinely think he's one of the best cartoonists in the UK and this book should hopefully get him the recognition he deserves. Back it here! www.kickstarter.com/projects/ave...

Last year we started organising the @averyhill.bsky.social exhibition… this spring I was in the midst of detailed planning (like this wall space plan I made.) It’s unbelievable to see it all come together and look so good. 🥲 (Swipe to see a photo of it looked on opening day this weekend!)

We were very lucky to get @artscouncilengland.bsky.social funding this year to send some creators overseas! The amazing @toumeya.bsky.social is appearing at several events in the USA this weekend talking about her new book 'The Corus Wave.' Here's what she's up to! #graphicnovel #book #ukcomics
