Happy Letterer Appreciation Day to all. In light of this festive holiday, I'd like to announce that I've finally booked a lettering gig with a big well-known comic company. I have actual editors, this is a treat!
This is what my nightmares are like after I take too much cough syrup
See, I can still hand letter. I definitely wouldn't want to hand letter as much as I used to pre-digital lettering but it's good to know that I can still do it. ;)

Letterer Appreciation Day is almost upon us! On September 1st, feel free to use this graphic to celebrate your favorite comic book letterers!
I mean, aside from reshaping the text bubble, that's three clicks. This video isn't edited.
Gonna hold on to this mental image for when people snidely tell me digital inking "isn't real"
This happens
QRP with your most popular piece on bsky ~ I THINK it's this Atom Eve I drew, maxed out at a towering 17 likes. My peak achievement here.
QRP with your most popular piece on bsky ~ not 100% sure how to check, but I believe it's this one!
Because your bris, your bris is on my list And at your bris, I'll give the tip a snip
Not to be DRAMATIC, but the difference between lettering over an artist who does not think about the lettering while doing layouts, and one who does, is like the difference between being buried alive and standing in a field on a beautiful day, feeling the wind in your hair and the sun on your skin.
@blambot.bsky.social Alright, time to see if this automation workflow I've come up with impresses at all. I don't know if anyone else has cracked automating the creation of an oval text object to paste their copied text into, but if not, here I am atop the mountain.
I missed #portfolioday yesterday but I'm going to break the law and post anyway, and I beg you to not report me to interpol. Hi, I'm Tom and I'm a comic letterer and inker. Here're some lettering samples from a recent book.
From ‘Outstanding’ and a good reminder that investing in the arts is a win-win, not a lose-lose, proposition.
I made this because I'm opinionated about thrash metal and also I'm a sassy lil' stinker www.undeadwizard.com/store/p/meh-...
This is what happens when a bunch of comic artists ink the same pencils. Welcome back to Ink Party, where I pick some pencils and we all ink ‘em, then compare how the results came out. This was fun, thanks to @stazjohnson.bsky.social for use of his phenomenal pencils.
It’s almost time for the 2nd round of INK PARTY, my workshop thingy where different inkers ink the same pencils and we all compare. Get excited.
Doing some lettering today for the best idea that never happened in the Amalgam universe.
Yayyy I've got a lettering gig with a lot of digital stuff being said by digital characters, and that gives me just the excuse I needed to grab that new Blambot font.

A cartoonist named Daniel "Des" Rolando Sanchez Estrada was tried as a terrorist and sentenced to 30 years in prison for having anti-Trump comics in his car. Prosecutors connected him to a 2025 anti-ICE protest he didn't even attend because he was in the same book club as others who were.
It's telling how this is the only artist they could get to draw something for this article
