I missed off @jamesspackman73.bsky.social!! My very own agent!! (I swear I did type his name out…)

THOUGHT BUBBLE, IS IT? Well Sunday @ 1.30pm I'll be presenting an early preview of the UK Comics Creator Survey results and… Fuh. king. hell, do I have a bombshell to drop on you…! I’ll be joined by expert panelists @dapsdraws.bsky.social @pondi.bsky.social & @markbradley.bsky.social

Bloody hell. The first review of my new comic ‘5 More Minutes’ just dropped and…bloody hell. I don't think I could've hoped for better?!

Got our @societyofauthors.bsky.social Comics Creators Network meeting tomorrow evening! See you there maybe? 🥳 societyofauthors.org/event/comics...

What’s this? A new comic? From Hannah Berry? Surely not…

THOUGHT BUBBLE MONTH feature! The Tale Spinner – @karriefransman.bsky.social Karrie Fransman’s Immersive Peepshow/3D Comic that Can’t Be Replicated by Al Comes to Thought Bubble. @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social #ThoughtBubbleatBF25 www.brokenfrontier.com/fransman-tal...

www.thoughtbubblefestival.com/programme/tb... This year there's going to be accessible and inclusive portfolio reviews at the Thought Bubble comic convention, with the artist guests. These are for absolutely anyone who makes comics from kids to professionals. You should take advantage... Thread. 1/?

The main achievement of the tech industry has been increasing the flow of money from people who make or do things to people who already have more money than they could spend in a hundred lifetimes

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!)

Vol. 1 of our graphic novel SWEENEY'S PROGRESS is finished. An ecological fable set in C7th Ireland, from one of the great medieval poems. Script by me, art by @zaraslattery.bsky.social. To read the book online & help with the making of Volume 2, visit our Patreon: www.patreon.com/c/sweeneyspr...

Up early for a Saturday to get my stuff together for this. See you there #Brighton - your chance to chat with and buy from our city’s many talented #comics creators. Like @zaraslattery.bsky.social @michimathias.bsky.social @simonrussell.bsky.social @streakofpith.bsky.social

Absolutely everyone connected with literacy: the enjoyment of reading crisis is a travesty! Above all else children must be encouraged to enjoy reading again! The government: let’s test the little pricks, that’ll make them love it

Do you like comics? Are you in Brighton? (Or can you get to Brighton?) The inaugural CARTOON COUNTY AUTUMN FAIR is next Saturday, 10am-5pm! Just a bunch of your favourite local creators (and me!) selling comics/zines/graphic novels/prints 🥳

I’m reposting this, but grudgingly because Vee and I have a graphic novel out on submission *right now*. Please give them work, but don’t you dare steal them away or you’ll face my pencil-necked wrath.

I'm Vee, an illustrator, comic & cover artist who's worked with Rebellion, Boom, Oni, Image & Titan. I make painterly comic art, comic & book covers, and I will make them for you! #PortfolioDay ✉️ [email protected] 🔗 anadapta-art.com

YES MYF! 🙌 Fans of activism and community spirit, you need this book in your life

I’m super excited to be on @streakofpith.bsky.social’s panel giving an early preview of the findings from the 2025 UK Comic Creator’s Survey, alongside the amazing @pondi.bsky.social & @dapsdraws.bsky.social, on Sunday at 13:30! I can’t wait to discuss this!

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Ok so somehow the survey is still open. Maybe the Audience Agency - like a ghost with unfinished business - are waiting for one specific creator to fill it in, and when that is done finally they can rest?? Who is this person? Is it you? Are you the special final one? Please, let them have peace!

This new book by @cartoonkate.bsky.social is a breath-takingly beautiful thing: I'd go so far as to say a work of genius. It's my privilege to be interviewing her about it at the East Gate Bookshop, Totnes on 23rd October. Please join us if you can: www.totnespulse.co.uk/product/tick...

A reminder that there's a massive #cartoon #comics fair at #BrightonOpenMarket in 10 days on Sat. 18 October! LOADS of creators including @streakofpith.bsky.social @zaraslattery.bsky.social @frasergeesin.bsky.social Sara Kenney, Danny Noble, Dan Locke, Paul Garner, Ilya & many more! #Brighton

Oh hang on, it’s still open?! Not sure how long for but if anyone wants to risk it…

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy: www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

This ends at midnight, so please, please, please take 10 mins to fill it in!

This is a great project and if you’re at all comics people you should fill in the survey.

As someone with experience on both sides of the fence here (a cartoonist without enough time to do all they’d wish, and someone who recently tried to get others to fill out a survey and was surprised by who didn’t) I encourage anyone UK-based who hasn’t yet done so to get on this asap!

If you work in comics in the UK and haven't filled this out yet, then now is the time!

Not long left to fill this in! If you make comics in any capacity the comic creator survey wants to know! x

Final Days to fill out the survey! Help them understand comic creators work/finances & help grow their case for supporting comics. DO IT ASAP! Please! (UK based creators only)

Last chance for any UK comic creators to help document the comics landscape

I've just filled this in, because, I AM a comics professional in the UK.

LAST ORDERS, FOLKS! This closes at midnight tonight! It’ll take you ten mins, your anonymised answers will be used for the good of the whole comics scene, and you might win £50 to spend in your favourite online comic shop... 💰📕 ✅

Now would be a great time to reach out to any comics creators you know who are less online or more remote (geographically and/or emotionally) to make sure they’ve filled this thing in too…

Comics pals! Have YOU filled this in yet?

Everyone who is behind this survey wants your voice to be counted. Everyone who is *boosting* this survey wants your voice to be counted. Get this puppy filled in before midnight on Monday and be counted!! ukcomicscreators.org.uk

ukcomicscreators.org.uk This closes on Monday, so I'm.just giving a nudge, especially to the senior members of our comics community, to fill this in. It's totally anonymous, and it's done by professional ppl. Also, please share. The more breadth of data the better.

A searchable works list has been released to identify the authors’ works that were stolen by US Corporation Anthropic, to train its AI models. It includes UK authors whose works were copied without their permission or payment.

Let’s be honest, it’s a stretch to say we live in a true democracy, isn’t it? Government & big business skip along merrily together towards policy decisions that affect the rest of us but over which we have zero control. Decisions are made about us without us all the time.

Will I have a political rant on here? Will I? Oh go on then…

There are just a few days to fill in the survey at ukcomicscreators.org.uk/. Run by @streakofpith.bsky.social, this is for all #comics makers in the UK. Share your experiences and help build the evidence base for better support! And just as important, please share with all the creators you know.

If you make comics in the UK, fill this in. I'm really hoping for a better future for our industry but we need information about how the heck we're all surviving currently in order to change it.

Hey members! The UK Comics Creators Survey is running now until early October. Consider filling it out and help create more funding opportunities and infrastructure for fellow UK-based creators. ukcomicscreators.org.uk

If you’re involved with making comics in the UK, please, please, please take 10 mins to fill this out. It’s such vital information!

🚨FINAL FEW DAYS!🚨 The UK Comics Creator Survey will close forever at midnight on Monday 6th! Have you submitted your response yet? Or were you, like me*, waiting for the last minute? The last minute is now, lads! Get in there! ukcomicscreators.org.uk *I thrive** on pressure **Exist painfully
