Students across our, illustration, animation, graphic design and digital design degree programmes attended and showcased their work at this years Thought Bubble, the Yorkshire Comic Art Festival! The event is “a week long celebration of comics, illustration and more spread across the whole of Yorkshire, finishing in a huge two day comic convention in Harrogate.”

Thought bubble is a not for profit organisation partnered with Bernardo’s,  and aims to promote the power of comics! “We believe they can inspire, educate and bring people together like no other medium, so whether you’re a long-time fan of comic art or have never picked up a graphic novel before, you’ll find something for you.” The festival hosted a range of events including workshops, social events, exhibitions and more.

Students were able to feature and sell their work gaining a valuable professional opportunity to sell and promote their own businesses and online platforms student Gracie Clough said “Thought bubble was an amazing opportunity for independent artists to sell and promote their work.”
Featuring established artists students had the opportunity to meet some of their favourite makers Alex Kelly commented, “Thought bubble was really nice, so many cool and nice artists! I also saw James Tynion who wrote my favourite comics, and he signed a copy for me. I will definitely be going next year!”
