C'mon, get out of bed. I'm doing my talk on Red Rosa at Bristol Anarchist Bookfair BUT I'm the first speaker, at 11am, and apparently, anarchists are not well known for getting up early. I bet that socialists would turn up in well-organised serried ranks for a mid-morning free comics lecture on Dr Luxemburg. I'm just putting that one out ... Read More
Comics legends Mary and Bryan Talbot launch their graphic biography of Paris Communard Louise Michel, The Red Virgin and the Vision of Utopia. To mark the occasion, The House of Illustration have invited me and Dr Luxemburg along for a joint talk.

Programme and location details here.
Never mind that artists usually work at drawing boards, not round tables. I will be appearing with Hannah Berry and Rachael Ball (whoop! whoop!) to discuss the joys of never seeing the sunshine and drawing till your eyes go squiffy. See you there.
I'm a keynote speaker at the Independent Midwifery National Conference. I do love a good midwifery gathering. I love the impressively thorough way the women all wash their hands. Believe me, thirty midwives in a conference hotel toilet can take a hell of a long time at the hand dryers.
So chuffed. Details here. #LSERosa.
