Happy Letter Appreciation Day to the underappreciated legends of the comic world.
Special shout-out to @simonbowland.bsky.social who absolutely kills it on every project he touches. A true joy whenever he gets to word a book.

Huge loss. Massively inspirational artist for me personally. An aesthetic that can never be matched.
RIP Screaming Mad George. One of the best possible credits to see pop up when you start watching an 80's horror movie. Go watch SOCIETY (1989) right now.

Drawing is hard. Drawing is also extremely rewarding. Finally seeing mild progress and feel like some of these basic are starting to stick. Feels good.

I’m still mostly unemployed, so if anyone needs a letterer for an upcoming project, please consider hiring me 🙏
With 23 years of continuous work as a letterer, and over 30 years of print/production experience, I’m now unable to find any new lettering work in comics.
Please keep me in mind when staffing your creator-owned projects and please consider requesting me on your WFH projects 🙏

Today I learned I'm nominated for the Eisners for Best Colorist again, this time for six books. I'm grateful to the Eisner jury, and to the artists and storytellers who trusted me with their work.
