Thought Bubble Festival 2022 - Roundup!

Thought Bubble Festival 2022 was packed full of comics-focused events, from Masterclasses to Socials, Workshops to Exhibitions. We brought huge names into Yorkshire, like Gail Simone’s In Conversation evening at Leeds Arts University, and Ram V whose Masterclass at The Leeds Library was packed with folk taking notes of wisdom. CJ Reay of Black Lodge Press joined us for our Rainbow Age Book Club, and discussed their work and influences in their Art as Agitation talk, and Hamish Steele ran a sold-out storytelling workshop in the beautiful Drawing Room at Leeds Central Library! Tula Lotay graced The Corn Exchange with her art exhibition, and Mondo took over Belgrave Music Hall with music, signings and records, while Jock treated us all to a live painting of Judge Dredd. With the help of Diamond UK we gave away hundreds of comic books in local libraries, we also had the amazing JAKe running drawing workshops for kids in Bradford and Emily Ormerod teaching Leeds kids how to draw strange creatures! There was loads, loads more - the whole festival was a joy, and we can’t wait to do it again in 2023.
