I'm ok with it. I applied with Amber and used my tumblr as a pseudo-portfolio. I think we may have been long-listed if anyone is to drop out which is nice.
Really though, things like Thoughtbubble aren't the highest on my priority as an illustrator. Comics and sequential art aren't really a focus in my practice, although I do like to make say, less narrative focused zines. When I used to think of Thoughtbubble I imagined it to be just traditional comics which isn't very appealing to me but there are a lot of interesting illustrators there. I was interested to see the work of illustrators like Wai Wai Pang and Marianna Madriz (who both stayed with me in their travels in Leeds) and how their practice works in a context like this.
I'll definitely be attending and would be keen to table if given the chance! But otherwise it's not a huge deal
