First up was Bucky Ringsell, owner of Chelmsford’s independent comics shop Dark Side Comics, who delved into gender and queer representation in the Marvel universe.

Hopefully by now if you’re a resident of Chelmsford, you have seen and maybe heard the tinkling of the ivories of the community piano in the Meadows Shopping Centre in the middle of the city.

My name is Carmel Green. I am a local Chelmsford artist and, like so many other local free-thinking creatives, I want to create positive change in the world.

Hi, I'm Candy Joyce (aka Flipping Zombies) I'm a freelance designer, illustrator and toy maker.

I'm Lynn Excell and I do a multitude of things! I'm a visual artist, but I also write, take photos, crochet and embroider and I'm always looking for new things to stimulate my imagination.

There’s a problem with our comic characters, and it all comes down to their bodies.

My name is Hayley Wells and I’m an illustrator and designer making prints, cards, and small press publications.
