Again, don’t worry if you’re not London-based, our online version still happens regardless. Our reborn “real world” event though continues the past tradition of rotating guest artists alongside our artist-in-residence Mark Stafford. Co-hosts are BF’s Andy Oliver and Gosh!’s Will Humberstone. The evening starts at Gosh! at 6.30pm with the three rounds of themed drawing taking place in The Royal George from 7pm onwards. Please note: seating is limited and priority will be given to those who meet at the shop. Work from the featured artists will be on sale on the evening.
So onto our artistic line-up for August…
Roman Muradov describes himself as “an Armenian artist and author of moderate renown” and told us in a 2015 interview at Broken Frontier “I guess I’ll just keep writing and drawing and then I’ll regret everything and die.” His books have included (In A Sense) Lost & Found from Nobrow Press in 2014, Jacob Bladders and the State of the Art from Uncivilized Books in 2016, Vanishing Act from Fantagraphics in 2018 and All the Living, also from Fantagraphics this year.
Daisy Crouch is one of the 2026 Broken Frontier ‘Six Small Press Creators to Watch‘. Her current project is the queer super-hero horror series Very Hungry Women launched this year and was reviewed here at BF where we said of it “Appealing art and vibrant colouring make this a super-hero story to watch out for if you’re looking for something more than a little different to the output of the Big Two.” Daisy’s work will also be seen in the net volume of Sagas of the Shield Maiden.
Mark Stafford was a contributor to the 2016 Broken Frontier Anthology and is the Cartoon Museum’s artist-in-residence. He has been a frequent collaborator with writer David Hine including books like The Man Who Laughs and Lip Hook. His shortform work has been collected by Soaring Penguin Press as Salmonella Smorgasbord. Most recently he contributed to the Penguin folk horror anthology Bog People and SelfMadeHero’s Count Binface anthology.
