Hello…

…my name is Inigo Montoya

you killed my father

prepare to die

just joking sorry. My name is Jessica Maybury. I’m Irish and live in Belgium. I just really love making things with my hands.

keep scrolling for interviews with me, publication details, and the contact form.

Bee-Witched not only gives me my creative fix but supplies food for thought in spades. If you’d like to explore words, art and ideas that will deepen your understanding of yourself, you will love Jessica’s thoughtfully creative posts.

Talking comics (in Dutch!) on the Bij Van De Ven podcast

In this comics-focused special episode of the Bij Van de Ven podcast, I talk about my three favourite comics: V for Vendetta, 30 Days of Night, and The Killing Joke. In a previous life I founded and ran a women-centric comicbook website and community called, fittingly, Girls Like Comics (R.I.P.). What is At Van de Ven? A Kempen Podcast about music, comedy, comics and more. Presented by Flemish Kempenaar and comedian Koen Van de Ven.

Zinespiration: can funny stuff be found in everyday life?

In this episode of the zinester-interview series Zinespiration, I talk to Ryan of Pocket Thoughts Zines and Craig from Five O'Clock Zines about zines (duh), art, vintage WWF (yes, seriously, wrestling), and the humour you can find in everyday life (that you then put into zines and art)!
