Saying it again. You do *not* have to be the most accomplished artist in the world to make an excellent comic that speaks to people and communicates your truths.

Hi #PortfolioDay, I'm Alison, an artist and sometimes writer from London, UK, and I draw comics, book covers and editorial. Can't show you the sequentials I'm drawing right now but I'm open for covers (especially books), comic writing and to discuss the next thing.

Home from work. Going to bed. My post-Covid recovery routine for the foreseeable. Absolutely wiped out.

Free gifts like that seemed so extra cool back then when there was so little in the way of actual comics-related merchandise around. Good times!

I had never heard of 1940s Marvel comic WACKY DUCK before today but now I demand they uncancel the Masterworks line so we can have a collection. That cover to #4 below is amazing! Sadly no record of who drew these on the GCD.

Hey #ThoughtBubble tables have been announced so here's a reminder where you can find me in Harrogate this year. #notthisjokeagain
A pint of beer on a bar in a pub with an arrow pointing to where Andy will be. He does this joke every year and has done since 2014 and it wasn't really very funny even back then.

Today, courtesy of an eBay seller, I have finally seen what the free poster in 1970s Marvel UK weekly comics THE TITANS #1 actually looks like and I have to say it's pretty cool.
1970s Marvel UK reprint comic THE TITANS #1. The free poster from THE TITANS #1 featuring many Marvel Universe characters.

Going to try and shake off my post-Covid weariness on Sunday to get along to this. If you have anything to chat about in regards to #ThoughtBubble coverage and you want to grab me this might be the moment.

Happy six month anniversary of that time A Random popped up in my mentions to ask me if I was new to comics. #areyounewtothescene
Screenshot of Andy laughing at the silliness of imprisoning comics in slabbed plastic prisons in a Bluesky post. A random dude replies to ask if he was "new to the [comics] scene" in response.

Have purchased a walking stick as a short term aid as I’m not feeling very steady on my feet after Covid knocking the stuffing out of me. Additional advantage is that it really lets me lean heavily into Frazer’s whole “last decades of his life” thing about me which amuses me greatly. #tftq
