In February we have arranged to run a couple of workshops at the fabulous Arthole in Cardiff. Sat Feb 21, 2026 from 11 am to 4:30 pm we are running a Character Creation & Storytelling workshop double bill. No experience necessary. Book for either or both now! www.eventbrite.com/e/storytelli...

We have been very quiet in 2025 but that will change soon. Plans are being laid out for PrideCAF 2026. But before that we have a few things cooking that are almost ready to announce. Hold on just a bit longer....

Good luck to everyone who may or may not be manically prepping for @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social next weekend. Sadly, our personal funds have not been able to facilitate us to attend this year, we hope to come visit in 2026 if we can. We shall attend via people's social feeds.

This is really sad to hear, Quindrie have been an awesome platform for LGBTQ creators. It's so sad to see things like this happen in the industry. We need publishers like this in the world and it's so sad to lose one. May your 2026 be happy and fruitful @quindriepress.com.

I have made the incredibly difficult decision to close down Quindrie Press at the end of 2026. Please read my full statement, along with information about what's next at Quindrie and an FAQ, here: quindriepress.com/closing

We recently helped out on PrideCAF's 12-hour #livestream by running a session of THIRSTY SWORD LESBIANS, and it was everything we wanted it to be and more! Watch the chaos on the EoE YT channel, and say hi to Nate & Chris over at @pridecaf.bsky.social! LINK: youtu.be/NgS523dJCBY #TTRPGCommunity

Giveaway! More zines! Will maybe split between two people depending on interest? But, yeah, like this post to potentially get some free zines in the post, yay! These were mostly bought at fairs including @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social & @pridecaf.bsky.social

And the final amount for the day is in! Including the donated payments from our guests, we hit our goal of £500 and then some! Thank you everyone who joined in or watched! This was a truly a big experiment and feel so grateful you all came for the ride!

About to go live, please forgive my Flu induced state but wouldn't want to miss this! bsky.app/profile/prid...

If you're just tuning in you missed our Thirsty Sword Lesbians marriage romp. Don't worry though still lots left to enjoy. Come for some D&D monster drawings with friends and a big ole monster chat with @letzoespoilyou.bsky.social. Come join us and donate - www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIbN...

Sapphic antics abound come watch now at www.youtube.com/live/UIbNumn...

Come and watch! Support, and contribute to a good cause! See you all at 6:30 for drawing monsters! @pridecaf.bsky.social

We are a few hours into our 12-hour livestream. Next up at 15:00 (GMT) a chat with some fellow independent comic fair creators. Namely Plymouth Comic and Zine Fair and Zinezilla. Come join us and donate if you can to AKT - www.justgiving.com/page/prideca...

GOING LIVE IN 25 MINS www.youtube.com/live/UIbNumn...

This weekend, I'm very much looking forward to talking Queer Monsters with the awesome @pridecaf.bsky.social for their charity livestream! Do come join! www.instagram.com/p/DFvyrWHIjK...

Stories of monsters have always resonated with queer experiences of self-discovery, repression, and ultimate liberation. Join our chat with @letzoespoilyou.bsky.social about monsters, horrors and the growing community of monster romance. Expect themes of slightly raunchy monster chat.

Join the @eoelsewhere.bsky.social as four love angsty disaster lesbians embark on a daring heist to strike at the heart of the maliciously heteronormative Imperial Patriarchy in this zany and scifi adventure sapphic romp! Starting at 16:15 on the 8th of Feb on the PrideCAF YouTube channel.

Next up at 12:45 we'll have @fiotrethewey.bsky.social and @georgiacooked.bsky.social challenging Nate to drawing Dr Who creatures. A series he knows NOTHING about. Will he get it right just from descriptions or will he mix up his Who's from his What's?

Coming up first on our packed 12hr schedule we have a discussion with amazing creatives @haridraws.bsky.social and @milmo.bsky.social about being a creative with disability and chronic pain.

We've been working on something behind the scenes! Next Sat (8th of Feb) Nate and Chris will be doing a 12hr Live Stream to raise money for AKT. A homelessness charity dedicated to LGBTQ+ young people. We'll be joined by a bunch of friends and guests and we hope you will join us too! More to come.

To get into the festive spirit, Chris of @pridecaf.bsky.social fame runs a game of Pick Me!, a Xmas horror #TTPRG about toys futilely trying to win the attention of The Child. Watch on the EoE YT channel, & sub for more #actualplay content! LINK: youtu.be/3YEI9x-gvpI #ttrpgcommunity #christmas

Hello to all of our new followers, we have had over the past week or so. I think more people are abandoning X. Welcome to all. We are on a bit of a hiatus until the end of 2024 but will aim to re-engage a bit in 2025 even though no festival is planned. Feel free to say hi!

We are on the hunt for volunteers for our comic festival. No matter your experience, physical capabilities, if you are LGBTQIA+ or an ally, you can be a massive asset to the smooth running of PrideCAF. You get to help us help queer comic creators exhibit their work. forms.gle/MnRSQwTUxDxJ...

Our exhibitors are being announced over on Insta, we simply just don't have the resources to post here to without automating it (we are looking into that). Go check out or website for a full list. pridecaf.co.uk/exhibitors-2...

Our final talk is by Lewis Hancox, he is a comedy writer, actor, filmmaker and now comic maker. He'll be talking about his life growing up trans in a small town in the early 2000s and turning his trans teen hardships into creativity and humour. With insights into his two graphic novel memoirs too.

Next on our talks list is @rbessaaa.bsky.social who is a Portuguese illustrator based in London. Using his and others' work as examples he will talk through what makes for an appealing cover that helps communicate; the differences between designing a cover illustration vs planning comics;

KaarokaaroArt is a Non-Binary/Queer Filipino multidisciplinary artist. Their workshop is a casual and collaborative monster drawing session to encourage people to imagine and draw together nonsense creatures. Expect warm-up drawing exercises, monster drawing games, googly eyes and silly names.

Sarah Millman is best known for their independent comic series NPC Tea. Every artist encounters pitfalls in their practice: from burnout to illness, it's difficult to keep creating when you feel low. Sarah will talk about self-care methods, reigniting creativity and using storytelling as self-care.

Its time for PrideCAF talks announcements, if you follow our Instagram you will know about these already. But the next 4 posts will be catching up! The talks all take place in our accessible workshop space and will be recorded (where permission given) for our YouTube channel.
