@gavinguidry.bsky.social Hey Gavin, just wanted to say that your Flash is one of the finest I've seen since Ringo. You're doing amazing work!

Got comps for the softcover edition of GREEN LANTERN: EARTH ONE vol 1. DC never a published SC before, this one coincides with the LANTERNS show. I encourage you to pick up the book. It’s one I’m really proud of. Featuring letters by @simonbowland.bsky.social and colors by Jordan Boyd.

Ryan's one of my favourite artists to work with, and you should definitely hire him! ✅ Hits deadlines ✅ Beautiful visuals ✅ Perfect storytelling

Art for my story “Land Ho” from MORRISON HOTEL (2020), Z2Comics Story by @leahmoore.bsky.social The one thing i’ve done that my dad was interested in, being a DOORS fan. I’m Looking for drawing gigs if any of you out there like my work. Paying gigs only.

Sent over 200 emails since the start of 2026, emails in which I’ve enquired about lettering work, emails which have all gone unanswered. All to editors who I know/have worked for in the past, no cold calling. It’s terrifying that nobody will hire me. It’s my livelihood and it’s completely dried up.

Simon is amazing- I've been lucky enough to work with him a few times. If you want great lettering for your comics- Look no further than @simonbowland.bsky.social

It’s actually beyond belief, the extent to which the comic industry is kicking me down at the moment. Almost seems personal at this stage. But it will never succeed. Ever. I don’t give up and I’m not going anywhere.

It’s actually beyond belief, the extent to which the comic industry is kicking me down at the moment. Almost seems personal at this stage. But it will never succeed. Ever. I don’t give up and I’m not going anywhere.

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 🙏

Very happy that two of my best friends in the industry, @blambot.bsky.social and @tayloresposito.bsky.social, have both been shortlisted for Best Letterer in this year's @ringoawards.bsky.social! Although... I can only vote for one of them... 😬

Also always worth mentioning: the first draft of lettering is NOT your opportunity to make sweeping changes. You fix mistakes at that stage, you do not rewrite your script. Letterers get paid once. Treating a lettering draft as a rewrite draft is stealing time and money from the letterer.

Around 25% left to raise and a week left to do it. If you enjoyed these two you're in for a great comics time. Any shares or support greatly appreciated. #comics #comicbooks #sciencefiction #sciencefictionart #scifi #scifiart #sciencefictionwriter #blackandwhiteart #crowdfunding

Also, if you read this and think, "Wow, the lettering is straight fire," consider @simonbowland.bsky.social for your next comics project. Lettering will make or break a book and Simon's work is top notch.

It's nice that so many folks have reached out to say "we're surprised that you're unable to find any lettering work". I'm not surprised, more disappointed. Seems my serious illness at the back-end of last year (100% recovered now and have been for six months) turned a lot of editors away from me.

Emphasis on the "pro" part. If you need recommendations, and I'm not available, just ask me. In fact, I'll give you a free one right now. You can't go wrong with @simonbowland.bsky.social!

Don’t destroy your painstakingly written and drawn comic with bad lettering. Hire a pro letterer.

BATMAN/GREEN ARROW/THE QUESTION: ARCADIA #4 is in shops today. Written and drawn by me. Colors by Romulo Fajardo jr. Letters by @simonbowland.bsky.social. This is the finale. I’d love to do more with any of these characters.
