- I forgot to share here that Treading Water won an award!! Thank you to everyone who voted for it in the public vote for Changemakers Choice Award- small press comic of the year! This was such a lovely surprise and it's so nice knowing that my queer little graphic novel resonated with people 🌊
- Some rare photos of me! I don't love having my photos taken, but felt important to celebrate the fact that my debut graphic novel, Treading Water, is now available at @goshcomics.bsky.social I popped in yesterday to sign some copies

- Reposted by Rowan FrewinWriting the intro for @brokenfrontier.bsky.social's Pride Month coverage this year felt both difficult and more crucial than ever this time. Celebration definitely goes hand in hand with defiance this year. Dear god what a world we live in. All starts Monday at BF.

- A reminder to my fellow illustrators who do client work- clients should not be asking you to sign over your copyright!! (Unless they want to give you A LOT of money)
- For context, my 'boundary on copyright' is that I won't sign over full copyright for a £250 commission fee.

- Reposted by Rowan FrewinSome follow-up thoughts on BF today about our friend R. E. Burke if you want to know more about her contributions to the UK comics community. She's one of the kindest and most generous people I've worked with at BF and her detention by ICE is horrific. - Andy www.brokenfrontier.com/bring-becky-...

- Reposted by Rowan FrewinA reminder in these worrying times that we offer free advertising on @brokenfrontier.bsky.social for marginalised comics creators bringing stories of their lived experiences to wider audiences. I outlined how to get in touch with me about that last week here: www.brokenfrontier.com/diversity-eq...
- It's #LGBTQ+HistoryMonth in the UK. New followers of mine might not know that trans history is a big focus in my artistic practice, and a few years ago I made an illustrated zine called 'A Potter Trans History'. I thought I'd share a couple of pages with you here!
- And here is some lovely coverage about it from the ever wonderful @brokenfrontier.bsky.social www.brokenfrontier.com/a-potted-tra...
