In 2007, she founded the annual Thought Bubble Festival to promote comic books to the general public, especially children with reading difficulties.[4] Before becoming a comics artist, she was on the British Comic Award Committee but resigned in 2013 to pursue a full-time art career. Her first work was in American Vampire: Anthology #1 and the cover art for Elephantmen #54.[5] She has also contributed to Red Sonja.[2]

Career

She illustrated issue #13 of The Wicked + The Divine, which was published in 2015[2] and nominated for a GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Comic Book.[6]

Lotay and her Supreme collaborator Warren Ellis announced in 2015 that they were working on a new comic, Heartless. As of early 2018, Heartless has yet to be released, but work was in progress.[7]

Personal life

As of 2014, she lives in Ilkley[4] with her husband Darren Potter. On June 27, 2017, she gave birth to their first child, Iona Falcon Potter.[8]
