Paper Jam Comics Collective

Had a nice time at Sequential Scotland and Glasgow generally. Good city. Good comics event. Well done the team! Keep an eye on @sequential-scot.bsky.social for any future events!

I'm very glad I tabled at @sequential-scot.bsky.social yesterday.
Sold more than expected & ran out of my most recent (partly cos I accidentally packed some faulty copies).

Met inspiring artists, creators, and lovely parent-child relationships amongst the visitors.

My boy's train mesmerised them.

All set up ready for CCCOOOMMMIIICCCSSS at @sequential-scot.bsky.social
(Today! Glasgow! Til 5pm!)

TOMORROW! Glasgow? Indie comics? SEQUENTIAL SCOTLAND!

We'll be there - look for our table & @mducked.bsky.social & @ellaitch.bsky.social! And loads of other great comics creators!

And Alex is running a comic-making workshop- with INVENTIVE AND INTERESTING NARRATIVE/STRUCTURAL COMCS CHALLENGES!

SATURDAY! GLASGOW! COMICS!

One week today!! Very excited for @sequential-scot.bsky.social comic con in Glasgow, I'll be there bright and early at Table 86 selling my comics and zines :)

3 of the visible drawings here are by me - See if you can spot which.
Also... THAT'S RIGHT! I went out and did art with people! I left the house! The people were nice! I ate some Haribo!

(it's unclear exactly *how* we win, we just turn back up a few hours later, with some cool new scars, some torn clothing, and tell everyone it's done, probably with a sassy play on words, everyone cheers and puts up statues of us)

Free comics, wheeeeee!
Another couple of our out-of-print comics are now available for you to download for literally zero money, taking the total available to ELEVEN anthologies - of top quality (well, variable execution) work on a wide range of subjects! paperjamcc.itch.io

Oh my god I’d forgotten all about these! Probably because of the immense amount of psychic damage caused by attempting a comic (poorly) imitating Anglo-Saxon art.

Classic Small Press Day! The late, great Terry Wiley signing at @destinationvenus.bsky.social back in 2016. Lovely photo! #SmallPressDay

We're going to be at Sequential Scotland (Glasgow's comics-centric comic-con) in August!
It's got an amazing range of talent exhibiting and nice events including a comic jam workshop where Alex will be challenging you (ADD A NEW CHARACTER! DO AN INSET PANEL!) as you make a little comic. FUN PERHAPS!
