I’m incredibly stoked and honoured to have made the shortlist in two categories of the amazing @selkieawards.org with Kid Eastwood the Movie! I worked super hard on it, so to see it recognised in this way is very exciting. Best of luck to everyone shortlisted, it’s all killer no filler!!

It feels so amazing to have @tomhumberstone.com & my poetry comic I KNOW THE WAY OUT nominated in three categories. But I’m going back through our collabs as prep for @comicartfestival.bsky.social and am reminded that we’ve been making them since 2011. Note to self: keep going, always keep going.

The Scottish comic scene is strong, but the people who put on indie-focused events are more often than not doing it for FREE!! After money and time, your voice is your powerful way to help your community. If you want the Selkies to flourish, be loud about it! Send Cara some words!
