THOUGHT BUBBLE MONTH 2026! Virtually all of UK indie comics is, of course, united in moral solidarity against the existential threat of generative AI “art”. It’s the one and only ethical stance on the subject after all. So when some of our Broken Frontier ‘Six to Watch’ artists decided to put together a stamp rally at Thought Bubble this year the overwhelming consensus on our Discord server was that the theme should be one that somehow took a stand against slop.
For the AI apologists out there no doubt already grinding their teeth in rage I hasten to add they came up with this idea on their own accord with no input or pressure from me! But, of course, we are more than happy to have made this an official BF collaboration.
And after weeks of them diligently working on this we can reveal the sticker sheet designs below that you can get hold of in Harrogate if you take part. The very talented artists involved are Abs Bailey, Beastly Worlds, Dominique Duong, Manon Wright, Pigeon, Rein Lee, Skhoshbell/Skai Campbell, Shri Gunasekara, Zen K. and Zoe Delautre Corral. That’s quite a collection of comics talent!
How do we take part you ask? Simply by visiting every creator’s table and getting a stamp on your stamp sheet (which can be picked up at any of the ten artists’ tables). You don’t have to purchase anything and when you have filled your sheet make a visit to Pigeon’s table to get your stickers.
