A great picture from @mikehorn.bsky.social of the “Olde Bokes” panel as we were all settling in!

Oh hey. I guess I can share this bit of concept art I was sitting on until the medieval adaptation panel was over yesterday (thanks to everyone who came along!) I’m currently neck deep in an old French werewolf story and my sketchbook is filling up with stuff like this.

If anyone got any pictures from the panel, I would love to see them!!

Final day of Thought Bubble! Come find me at Comixology C12a and get your comics about Chaucer and academic stuff and Princess Wolf and even grab one of three tiny original matchbox pigeon flocks!

Had such a great great great time at Thought Bubble today and looking forward to more fun tomorrow!

This panel was SO much fun! Absolutely brilliant panelists and such great questions from the audience!

On the train to Harrogate! So excited about Triangle Sandwiches!

I am SUPER excited for this as well!!! Ahhhhh!!

I’ve been so preoccupied with Thought Bubble posts that I completely forgot to share this True Story diary comic with you - starring the always-amazing @15thcgossipgirl.bsky.social ! Alexander Pope snuck in there, too. Of course.

'Translating Chaucer is a strange and humbling act. It’s like listening through centuries of static to a voice that is both foreign and familiar, comic and solemn, earnest and ironic.' Jonathan Fruoco writes about his experience translating Chaucer for our Meet a Medievalist Maker blogpost series👇
