I finally got to work with the brilliant @sharkbitesteve.bsky.social!

Hit up Simon, he's available for work as we speak and damn good at it, too!

BATMAN/GREEN ARROW/THE QUESTION: ARCADIA #3 is in shops today. This penultimate issue is written and drawn by me, colored by Romulo Fajardo Jr. and lettered by @simonbowland.bsky.social. Here’s a preview.

Another week without any projects for me to letter, so please keep me in mind for your new series and please consider requesting me via your WFH editor! I need to get my schedule filled as soon as possible! Thank you 🙏🏻

Simon did letters on RONIN ISLAND and I've always thought everything sat amazingly in those books.

John le Carre's: The Circus--Losing Control returns this week with issue #2, available now! Details: https://bit.ly/4jFQRKu From the team of @mattkindt.bsky.social, @ibrahimmoustafa.bsky.social, @20eyesbrad.bsky.social, @simonbowland.bsky.social

Simon is fantastic, you'd be proud to work with him! (I speak from experience!)

Simon is the best! Comic editors, hire him!

Simon is great at what he does. If you've been enjoying THE HUNGER AND THE DUSK, all that lettering is his--the fonts, the colors, the aesthetic. Hire him with confidence.

Simon is great - he lettered a big chunk of the Hulk and Herc books I wrote or co-wrote back in the day, along with MECH CADET YU and RONIN ISLAND and the PRINCESS WHO SAVED books! If you've got work, check him out!

After 22 years as a letterer, I now only have enough regular lettering work to keep me busy for 2 days per week. So if you’re staffing a new project, please keep me in mind as your letterer! Or request me via your editor! Recent clients include DC, Marvel, BOOM, Dark Horse, 2000AD, etc. Thank you 🙏🏻

I've just read through the finished pages of Salvation's Child, the @aptshadow.bsky.social graphic novel I'm publishing this summer, and it's *gorgeous*! Amazing work by @mikecollins99.bsky.social @pippabowland.bsky.social @simonbowland.bsky.social Pre-order: www.amazon.co.uk/Final-Archit...

Excited to announce my new creator-owned comic book, HIDDEN SPRINGS, alongside Kaiju-sized collaborators @nilvendrell.bsky.social (Redfork) Berta Sastre and @simonbowland.bsky.social from @darkhorse.com @comicbook.com have the exclusive: comicbook.com/comics/news/...

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 @conroyforreal.bsky.social said. I've lettered the first issue, and it's the best work I've ever seen from @gabrielhardman.bsky.social. This is going to be something very special. And Rom's colours are perfecto. You'll kick yourself if you don't pre-order this beauty! @dc.com

These pages are beautiful!

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.
