Hi to my new lettering people, wondering if anyone's aware of this having been done. I asked a guy I know that at one point was lettering 20% of DC's books and he said "I've never even used graphic styles" so he was no help.

After yesterday's Lettering Stack™ I kinda wanted to just pile up all my sound effects just to see how the pile looks, annnnd I like it.

I pulled together all my Marvel spec pages for a lettering stack! ...It's all spec work because I'm having the damnedest time getting noticed. But my mom says I'm very good.

Hey @blambot.bsky.social, I did another thing

My backyard looks like a moody 18th century oil painting right now.

I liked Frankenstein but mannn I wish I could figure out what it is about GDT's style that leaves me cold because on paper it's got that rich, velvety gothic victorian vibe I always say I want more of. Whatever, I dug it. I mostly wish the creature design matched Wrightson's a bit more #TeamNoNose

Have you seen my Holy Roller cover? Lots of fun

I did an open call looking for a comic penciler today and I would like to report to you all, exhausted and haunted as I am, that the applicants are 70% scammers, 25% amateurs that didn't read the brief and 5% artists with actual portfolios.

on the topic of dick cheney, one thing i’ve always said is that you shouldn’t kill a million people

Hey, I'm seeking a comic penciler to pencil a creator-owned series pitch package. #comiccollab

Quote your art with fire on 🔥

I’m reading the early DAREDEVILs and this is one of the most insane things I’ve ever seen in a comic

Drew Struzan has died at 78. The guy that painted (almost) all of your favorite movie posters. Indiana Jones, ET, Shawshank, The Thing, Big Trouble in Little China, Star Wars, Muppets, a Black Sabbath album cover, etc. The John Williams of illustrators, and one of the best to ever do it.

It's #portfolioday... again... and hi I'm Tom. Trying to transition from freelance artist to comic inker / letterer, failing magnificently. Inking & coloring: www.undeadwizard.com/inking Pencils by Joe Madureira, Ed McGuinness, Pedro Perez and Mike Hawthorne respectively. Inks and colors by me.

My first thought was "They're adding RFK Jr. to Smash Bros?"

Saw SLAYER in Hershey park yesterday. Super disappointed that the guy in the nazi shirt that did the salute seemed to still have all his teeth by the end of the set. I mean I didn’t do anything either- I’m not a tough guy- but holy shit, this reflects so poorly on metalheads.

Taking a road trip down to PA to see a live metal show for the first time in forever this weekend. Slayer, Exodus, Cavalera and Power Trip. Hot damn. I only have to sit through two bands I don't care for. This ratio hasn't happened to me since I sat through Motorhead to watch Maiden and Dio.

I colored this page I inked and lettered. It's-a done. Pencils by Pedro Perez.* *so don't ask me about the pacifier

My grandfather took a nazi bullet, so I feel a number of ways here.

You know how there’s a day for everything? National hot dog day, etc.? You can just pick something that doesn’t have a day and declare that a day is that day. No one‘s going to argue with you. With any luck it might stick forever. Happy national sleeping bag day everyone

what a humiliating way for don jr. to find out his dad sends birthday cards.

You can say "Philadelphia" without immediately adding "the city of brotherly love." Everyone knows which Philadelphia you mean.

Colored this Hellboy by @nicklein.bsky.social for fun last night.

Hiya @blambot.bsky.social, I had an idea for a thing based off your negative space rule of thumb with the O's around the edge. Might be nothing but I wanted to see if you liked it.

An NFT bro friend just asked how I'm doing and I said I'm depressed because I'm spending the day submitting to comics companies and I know no one's likely to respond. He gave me the hard sell for like twenty minutes about how I should be using my skills to make comics with AI. I'm so weary.

I was just telling a friend about how fondly I'm looking forward to trying these. I told her that I saw them at a Walgreens but haven't gotten them yet. She asked why I didn't get them from the Walgreens, and I said "it felt like getting a wedding ring at a thrift shop." It's just too important.

Just a lil' tutorial about how to make a comic balloon

Lettered some FANTASTIC FOUR pages. Braakooom.

For a while I've been talking about how conspiracy theorists are probably having so much fun, and being in Q-anon is probably such a blast. I've been jealous of it. Well over the last week I've been slowly growing hopeful about Trump's health concerns and I have to say this is as fun as I imagined.

It's comic letterer appreciation day! Here's my take on PAPER GIRLS, just spec stuff for the portfolio.

🟨Artist! Quote with your yellow art!🟨

Out $650 in emergency vet bills and $550 in design reimbursement for an error in my files that the client didn't check in the proofs and printed the error (I don't want to fight about it, they're friends & they're furious). All over the last four hours. What a shit day. I need tequila tonight.

Can't even build death star anymore, because of ewok

Picture, if you will, a room in India. This room is full of people making wicker balls. They spend the day tirelessly weaving spheres out of dried vines. Pick up a piece, weave, repeat. It pays well. One worker looks up at another and asks “What do you think they DO with these things?”

Wonderful things are happening in the Anne of Green Gables subreddit

A sure sign I'm in pretty dire need of therapy came when I was watching a thing about Son of Sam and he was being interviewed by the FBI in prison. I got quietly jealous that people were asking him to talk about himself because it seemed so nice.

"Did you hear what Trump did?" Unless the answer is "tumbled into a coffin with a fart sound" I don't have it in me to hear about it today

Orange Monday. Acrylic on canvas. 🍊

Aww shucks ❤️

I can't explain it but he looks how cantaloupe tastes

I'm very pleased to report that FANTASTIC FOUR is a damned good time, and the feeling was more FF than I'd guessed it might be. The sixties Marvel aesthetic was flawless. Nothing didn't work and I had a blast. For the first time in a long time I'm excited for the future of the MCU again.

More inking samples, this time from David Yardin's pencils from INJUSTICE. If you have some inking or lettering work that needs doing, I'm right here. If you know a comics editor help a pal out and send them my site, eh? www.undeadwizard.com #comicartist #comicinking #inker #inking

I'm saddened about Ozzy Osbourne's passing, and about how time passes in general. Man I wasn't ready.

Hey artists, quote with your woman art

So I didn't really feel SUPERMAN but I'm ignoring that and sucking in everyone's hope and love for it like it's opium fumes. I need this positivity, and I'm leaving my lukewarm feelings about the actual movie behind me when I do.

fantastic foreskins

Currently fighting my way through a job with one of the worst nightmare clients I’ve ever had. This guy has been nitpicking a sketch with like 30 tiny iterations, and now has the gall to complain about how we’re not going to get this done in time for him to meet his merch deadline.

DANGED IF YOU DUNE, DANGED IF YOU DUNE’T
