Hey, #PortfolioDay!! I'm Haley, freelance comics letterer and designer of nearly a decade. I also dabble in cover design and logos! and what a perfect time to reveal my newly redesigned portfolio site 👀 haleyroselyon.com
Ope, I lettered this for @oni-press.bsky.social 🥰 Huge fan of the direction we went in! The captions are particularly fun.
A closeted 12-year old will be forced to relive sixth grade over and over in Oni Press's newly announced time loop graphic novel THE HAVEN, due out January 27.
OK, I need to share this moment from The Marsh Fellows bc it's lowkey one of my favorite bits of lettering I've ever done

I can now reveal some lettering I did for this cool-ass D&D short... because you can download it for FREE!✨ www.dndbeyond.com/posts/2167-g... W: @collinkelly.bsky.social & @jacksonlanzing.bsky.social A: Alessandro Miracolo C: Valentina Taddeo
Tabling for the first time was actually so great ✨ I won free table space bc my weird little art thing was graciously accepted into @bettysbooksstl.bsky.social's 2026 community zine 🫶🏻 I have trouble thinking of myself as an "artist" since I'm not an illustrator, but this was super validating!
Getting ready to table for the first time!! I'll be at @bettysbooksstl.bsky.social's Free Comic Book Day extravaganza tomorrow from 1-2:30 🤗 #FCBD
My first business cards came 🥹 (can you tell I like purple?)
Guillermo del Toro, hands down. I'd have him as my anything doula, really
Which celebrity do you want to be your death doula. I'm going to go with Keanu Reeves.
My first project for Dark Horse is D&D horror?!?! Kinda can't believe it. This is gonna be SO friggin' cool.
Horror awaits in DUNGEONS & DRAGONS: Ravenloft, a new comic series that will unite Rudolph van Richten’s protégés--coming this August. Details: https://bit.ly/4vqp0na By Amy Chu, Ariela Kristantina, Arif Prianto, Haley Rose-Lyon, variants: Guillem March, Riley Rossmo, Francesco Francavilla and more
It's #PortfolioDay again! Yay! I'm a pro comics letterer and designer available for work. Logos, book design, pre-press, and more! Portfolio: haleyroselyon.com Contact: haleyroselyon@gmail.com
Hark! A thread of comics I've been borrowing from the library! (Shout out @stlpubliclibrary.bsky.social) 1. IN UTERO by chrisgooch44.bsky.social. Such a well-executed tale about friendship and self-discovery. Also has maybe the first-ever body horror imagery that's oddly satisfying to look at??
Wanted to share some fun logo work I did for a local business owner friend! Would love to do more like this.
Another note on SFX: The thing or action making the sound should be shown in the panel with the SFX! Like, if you have photography SFX in a panel ("POP" "FLASH"), ya gotta show that camera doing the thing. Either that, or show the source of the sound in a subsequent panel, like this.
Comic writers of Bluesky, do us letterers a solid, instead of just generalised SFX notes like Insert laser noises here, can you give us the onomateopia that you want for your book please? It can avoid people, such as myself, sitting here for 15 minutes making assorted laser noises & sounding crazy.
Comics freelancers: How do we feel about publishers' typical net-30 payment terms? AFAIK, many of us aren't paid anything up front and don't have much negotiating power. It's frustrating, considering the small-press and individual creators I work with usually pay within a week of invoice!
Always so lovely to hear feedback like this!! I'm available for comics lettering, design, and pre-press work through 2026 and beyond 😽
Haley was a dream to work with. Took the job under a tight deadline, and hit an ideal balance of executing the project specs while adding her own zip to it. Hire this pro!
Where my Western lovers at?! Back some awesome comics from writer @jamilscalese.bsky.social, who has my wholehearted endorsement as a super talented creator AND top-notch collaborator 🥰 Had a blast designing these books!

Comics people! What's your preferred way to show whispering/quiet talking? I tend toward small text in a regular-sized balloon, with added italics on a case-by-case basis. But sometimes I'll mess with opacity.
