I'm taking some time out of comics while I work on my health, so I won't be at @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social this year - hope whoever is going has a wicked time, and to see you next year 🤞

We are thrilled to announce that our UK & Republic of Ireland Initiative has officially launched! 🥳 This is a FREE opportunity for writers from the UK & Republic of Ireland to connect with execs and representatives! ➡️ www.roadmapwriters.com/pages/roadma...

Really excited about this! Join us at 11.30 on Saturday ✨

UK based illustrators, please fill out this survey from AOI by January 31st. The UK government is proposing a new AI policy that would let AI companies freely use copyright protected work without permission — unless you explicitly opt-out. www.surveymonkey.com/r/ai_consult...

Playing monopoly with a criminal 😾

Festively plump.

"When you're better we'll do *fun thing*" I'm so tired. Fun things are way overdue.

This was Thursday. My beloved Bellatrix bandmates and I took the stage at the Cheese and Grain, Frome (the bar stage, not the main stage, not quite yet) and played a bunch of rowdy angry girl songs. Thanks to all who came to boogie 💕💕

My people 🙌 Millmans of the world, unite

Okay let’s go. Table G-12. Artist Alley. MCM Birmingham.

It's Creator's Day on itch so Blue Pill Arcade, my grungy cyberpunky love story with a post-Soviet flare is on sale! 3 issues covering the many, many issues of Dan and Eve (they both need therapy) cryo-draws.itch.io/blue-pill-ar... #itchio #indiecomics

In the worst days of my depression, worst days of chronic illness, I constantly have to fight the idea that I'm a "burden". It's evil to label anyone as a burden. We need to talk about quality of life for the individual not how much money a human life is worth.

Can we please not use the word "burden" when talking about end of life care. Yikes.

I wouldn't be back into comics if not for advice like this, so do it. You can't get better if you don't start

Can't leave a page of colour tests in my sketchbooks without colour action heroes The Swatch Bros having their say!

SAD MANTHOLOGY HAS ARRIVED

Maniac?

Have you ever seen or shared an 'oh no' cartoon? Did you know the creator is a queer Welsh artist? Did you know they're being agressively pursued & harassed w/lawsuits from a US organisation trying to steal their intellectual property? Did you know you can donate to cover the horrific legal costs?

TONIGHT! Join us here on Bluesky for themed, online drawing fun. :-)

Stop overthinking/avoiding/formulaic perfecting you absolute NERD

Comics fam, I’m going to be looking to hire a colorist for a graphic novel I’m working on likely in mid to late January. If you have availability in early 2025, hit me up.

On our way to Thought Bubble, but might end up in Silent Hill

Consider this my snail of approval 🐌 [ #art ]

This is so good! 🏎️💨✨ Got the first one last year as a gift (that I was reluctant to give in the end, wanted to keep it!) The fact there's a second one is delightful. I need them.

Hey folks, my silly heist novel is on general release today! If you fancy reading about an idiot robbing a corporation's fancy Christmas party, here are the places you can get it books2read.com/u/me1BoR or on my own site (digital only) kateashwin.com/shop/product... #booksky 📚

I came across an outdated guide on image grid sizing crop/proportions for bsky earlier, and I felt it was important to create an updated version! Please use this new guide instead!

It's been a long time since I've been able to be creative (long COVID, and more recently SSRI withdrawal don't help) but I'm glad to be here 💖
