I've spent over an hour writing up my report from #LICAF so I've put it for patrons only. Cheeky? Maybe. Self-defeating? Almost certainly. But if you'd like a full rundown you can get access on the lowest tier: https://www.patreon.com/posts/licaf-report-90529207
I've just updated my Patreon. It's a public post so anyone can see it: https://www.patreon.com/posts/flurry-of-comics-89747424
One big thing: the creation of CCIC, the Comics Cultural Impact Collective, which I'm proud to be a part of. Read about who we are and what we hope to achieve in terms of making comics more viable in the UK.
If you'll be in Bowness for #LICAF on Friday, please come and see us talk!
Also hop over to my Patreon post to see who I'm most excited about seeing at LICAF, and which book I definitely want to buy while I'm there.
The Comics Cultural Impact Collective (CCIC, pronounced 'seasick') launches with a bang - see Karrie Fransman's beautiful cover and infographic examination of #comics funding, demographic and industry potential in the UK in today's Bookseller. To find out more:
