"Who Killed Nessie? is a great mashup of unexpected genres that has an engaging take on a well-worn trope with fun, lively, and colorful characters that is well paced and well constructed." - @pidgecomics.bsky.social

Who Killed Nessie was SO MUCH FUN!
Cryptids have a lot of feelings and I’m in full support! Also enjoyed the very chill Baba Yaga depiction :>

“One of my favourites is What We Don't Talk About by @zolwia.bsky.social: I think its nuanced depiction of racism and microaggressions - specifically in a British context, is so so important.” - drolliehicks.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.

managed to sneak away from my table to see the tour of the fantastic @averyhill.bsky.social exhibition led by @andywpoliver.bsky.social ✨
so cool to see the originals & process behind these comics !

This was a great show. Wonderful to see @averyhill.bsky.social's work showcased in this way.

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.

On the train to Thought Bubble! Maybe see you (yes, YOU) at the @averyhill.bsky.social Exhibition at the Mercer Gallery tonight? If not, hopefully see you at table C36 in Comixology Hall 🖤

I’m at the @averyhill.bsky.social exhibit at the Mercer Gallery, a few minutes walk away from the Thought Bubble halls, and it’s fantastic. The entire gallery, taken over by UK comics.

And if you're also up for the con, I highly recommend checking out the @averyhill.bsky.social exhibition on at the Mercer Gallery!

I finally Made it to THOUGHT BUBBLE ! @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social went to a fabulous exhibition of artists published by @averyhill.bsky.social Definitely go take a look if you're in town for the convention. #comic #art #imakeartystuff

The @averyhill.bsky.social show at the Mercer Gallery is absolutely brilliant. I think this is the first exhibit I’ve seen in the UK that explains the craft of graphic novel making for the general public. Also stands as a great testament to the beautiful books they’ve put out over the years.

The @averyhill.bsky.social show at the Mercer Gallery in Harrogate is amazing, and very flattering! So much great @rachaelsmith.bsky.social Nessie art! Do go along if you can!

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.
