In stores this Wednesday ENDEAVOUR #2 from @dstlry.bsky.social by writing wizard @stephsmash.bsky.social lettering legend @tenapolitano.bsky.social colourist beyond compare Lee Loughridge and me at the drawing board. Sorry to flood your feeds but I worked my ass off to bring you this book :)

Pneumonia has hit me hard. Over the past two months, I've lost almost $20k of work, and by the time we get to January, I'll only have three projects left. Editors/writers/artists/publishers: if you're staffing new projects over the coming months, PLEASE keep me in mind as your letterer 🙏

Simon’s amazing, he’s lettered a ton of my 2000AD work! He will make your dialogue look good

Still fighting this, and still really appreciating everyone who’s kept faith in me! I’ll be back to full strength very soon, for sure.

Thanks to all the editors, writers, artists and publishers who’ve been patient with me over the past few weeks while I’ve been trying to fight off a nasty bout of pneumonia. This is a full-time career for me so I really appreciate everyone who’s stood by me. Sickness as a freelancer is terrifying.

What a prat.

I have NO insider info on this yet but enough ppl have been hitting me up about it that I figure it's easier to just give my read on the situation in 1 go: Humanoids has a Paris branch & a Los Angeles branch. The LA branch is closing, but Paris (while also in a French version of Ch.11) is staying.

For me, a dialogue balloon isn't tangible - the characters in the panel can't see it, so it can't have a reflection. More to the point, it doesn't NEED to have a reflection. And in lettering, if I don't need to do something, I won't. Keep it simple, keep it clean.

The Ed Asner Family Center auction is live. Here’s my contribution for this year. I’m always happy to help. Please bid! comics.ha.com/itm/original...

Pleased with how this balloon came out. Taken from pt5 of the current BRASS SUN saga in @2000ad.bsky.social. Written by Ian Edginton, drawn and coloured by the brilliant @injculbard.bsky.social, lettered by me.

New DREDD, coloured by me. Out today!

Huge news! Comics publisher Cosmic Lighthouse, will be producing a brand new graphic novel I have written in the Final Architecture setting. The story will take place during the first war with the Architects and should be ideal both for newcomers and series veterans.

Here's the US pre-order link for Salvation's Child by @aptshadow.bsky.social from the new company I co-own, Cosmic Lighthouse! www.amazon.com/Final-Archit...

Phew, I've been promoting my arse off for the last few hours! How am I doing? Did you see what we're offering for a very small sum of money? You couldn't buy a pint for this in my local, and you're getting a 110 page original digital graphic novel! www.amazon.co.uk/Final-Archit...

Here it is! The big news! I've started a publishing company, and this is our first title, working together with @comixology.bsky.social ! @aptshadow.bsky.social @mikecollins99.bsky.social @simonbowland.bsky.social @pippabowland.bsky.social www.ign.com/articles/sal...

It's been an absolute honour to letter three episodes of this Dredd story - Rob and RM and Giulia at their very best. Well worth checking out in the latest 2000AD. (Annie will be back for pt5!).
