Graphic novel Two Shillings a Day is nearly done, and introduced here in the Camping and Caravanning Club mag. My main character TH Holding founded the Club 125 years ago!
On my way to the Brighton Open Market with graphic recipes and more…
Really happy to be part of this brilliant anthology #allisnotwell on care - from all angles. Comics are great for stories like these. Mine shows how careworkers help very elderly people cope at home after hospital, including the difficult demands and responsibilities of their job. I learnt a lot!
I listened to this incredibly moving, insightful talk by cancer survivor Heat Dziczek and started #graphicrecording it... though I did re-draw this after to make it properly clear as she wanted it for her website. 😀 Check out her amazing work at cancer.cards
Link not working, Simon!

The trouble with cows when you’re finding a place to camp in the 1890s. From Two Shillings a Day graphic novel WIP.
I've backed this and I really want it to reach goal. The art looks amazing and the whole thing is beautiful and not like anything else I've seen. Have a look!
Getting closer to finishing Two Shillings a Day. Here’s a few panels about mud. It’s 1897, before roads were paved.
You might know Zara from her incredible graphic novel Coma - check out her current project! I can't stop looking at this image...
This is just lovely, Zara!
T.H. Holding and co. exploring Cong on the second day of their #cycle-touring trip. Only thirty-four more pages of Two Shillings a Day to ink and colour!
Hey @mailchimphelp.bsky.social there's some kind of bug with the text+image block. The size of the image is tiny, no matter which ratio I choose. The example below is meant to be 1/3 text, 2/3 image. (I just discovered I cannot access any tech support bcs I'm on the free plan)

Thank you, Vicky! 😀
When one is constrained by a manuscript - I’m not changing any words for the graphic novel - it’s a relief to find what seemed awfully rude isn’t, actually. 😅
Such a generous offer. I would so be popping in if only I lived a little closer…

Asking directions to Leenane and not getting accurate answer... this is in 1897. Seems that old joke has been around for awhile!
Yes indeed! Met her at TB, very impressed with her work.
Once again, a wonderful advent calendar from the always-generous Simon! This is going to be fun
I’ve made my own planner for over 30 years as I can’t find one that’s right! It’s POD from Lulu in case this happens to fit how you think, too.
Thank you! And likewise!
Saw old and new friends at Thought Bubble, enjoyed a live draw, and finally got to visit the incredible Graphic Novel Reading Room and escape the overwhelm!
I mean, besides @daniellocke.bsky.social @emmavieceli.bsky.social @jenskstyve.bsky.social @zaraslattery.bsky.social @thingsbydan
On my way to #thoughtbubble, not tabling, just being a punter this time. 😀 Who should I go and see?
Good idea! I need to watch those again
See you there! But hey, you gotta tell us your hall and table number - edit into your name above?
No, it’s just a self-indulgent weekend as a punter! Maybe next year if my GN is done…
Brilliant! Will be great to see you again!
