GUEST ANNOUNCEMENT🎉
We're so excited to announce the first of our incredible guest lineup for 2026!
@bluefoxcomics.com Founded by Simon Birks & Marielle Bouleau, Blue Fox has rapidly grown to become a publisher of distinct, high-quality, character driven genre comics, graphic novels and gamebooks.
Just less than a week to go and we’ve already received more applications than we did last year 💪
TAGS Fest 2026 is now open for table applications! This year TAGS Fest is on 17th October at Out of the Blue Drill Hall, just off Leith Walk. You have until May 15th to apply!
🏷️ Apply at the link in our bio.
Two more weeks to get your applications in!
The quality of the work so far has been crazy good 💅
It’s so hard to not be really customer service! There are many things I probably would accept but lol I just don’t like Pokémon. It’s still not something I would ever DARE to do to someone else
I had to look a 19/20 year old in the face and be like ‘I don’t like Pokémon’ lmaooooo
I wish I could
I PROMISE you artists understand you have a limited budget. It’s cool, you don’t need to tell us. If you find our work after you’ve run out of money just follow us on socials and come see us at the next event we’re both at
Just a bit of convention etiquette:
Don’t go up to artists, tell them you’re out of money and then offer to swap Pokémon cards for their work
I’m really good at making eggs btw 💅
In case you missed it, table applications are now open for our Glasgow event Sequential Scotland!
Keeping everything crossed!

A digital illustration looking up from a forest floor. There is a fisheye lens effect to the drawing meaning that the forest curves around the viewer.
Have you guys seen the cover I did for Ode by @travisneverwas.bsky.social ?
It's nuts
I think it might be some of my best work?

The 2026 Sequential Scotland poster. It shows a forest landscape emerging from a book with people making, sharing and reading comics across the artwork.
So excited to reveal to everyone the absolutely incredible 2026 poster created by @mortiscausa.bsky.social 😍
We can't wait to welcome you all back to the DoubleTree this August to celebrate everything sequential and small press!
Fran’s poster is so cool 🥰😭
So lucky to have so many talented artists right on my doorstep
Scan’s come back clear!
So what was it? Most likely the really severe UTI
Don’t underestimate them 🤦
The Scottish Comics itch.io Bundle is open for submissions! MORE INFO BELOW
Are you a comic creator living in Scotland? Submit your comic to be part of the Scottish Comics Itch Bundle! How does it work? All the comics will be part of a big downloadable bundle for sale on itch.io. 25% of profits will be given to PCRF or another charity supporting Palestine. The remaining profits will be split equally between all participants. Your cut is sent to your account automatically; it doesn't come through the organisers at all. Who can take part? Any comic creators who live in Scotland! If you live in Scotland but you aren't Scottish, you can still take part. If you are Scottish but you don't live in Scotland, you can't take part. What should I submit? Submit your favourite comic that you've done! You can only submit one comic. Please do not submit text-only zines.
Is this bundle curated? This bundle is only lightly curated, which means we're checking for racist, transphobic, homophobic, misogynistic, or otherwise hateful content. We want to celebrate as many comic creators in Scotland as we can, so this bundle is not otherwise curated and your submission will only be rejected if the file quality is unusually low. What is the timeline? Submissions are open until March 31st. If your comic is approved, you will hear back by April 30th. The bundle will go live in June! I have another question. This bundle is organised by Letty, Pj, and Eve. Email us or reply to this post (no DMs please!).
We're already getting some v exciting submissions! Make sure and submit your comic, Scottish creators!

This bundle is organised by myself, @evegwood.com and @peejalien.bsky.social !
(I’ll get the results later)
Did a good job at my MRI lads
They also showed me some of the scans which was so cool
Aye if there’s any care going in to what you’re doing it’s not suddenly a different chair in the next panel 🤦 so wild for that to even happen when the OG one is like right there
At least make it difficult for us to tell what you’re doing
Comic artist chums, please get involved! Such a relevant #comicscommunity initiative.
