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 new 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 February…
Skai Campbell is one of our Broken Frontier ‘Six to Watch’ creators for 2026. Skai’s comics to date include the quirky hedgehog-themed anthology Hog Hog that looks at how disconnected we can become from nature in big cities and Jungul-Manthology Plus, a humorous collection of strips “inspired in equal parts by Calvin and Hobbes and my travels in Côte d’Ivoire.” Skai is another of this year’s ‘Six to Watch’ to have had work published in Camberwell Comic Club’s Figure anthology.
Dix is a Guardian contributor whose graphic novels include Klaxon with Si Spencer for SelfMadeHero and Dull Margaret with Jim Broadbent for Fantagraphics Books. His most recent book was The Idris File, also from Fantagraphics, a 1970s tale of Nazi conspiracy and hauntings in a Welsh coastal town. Look out for a review later this week at Broken Frontier.
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.
