Some really awesome news about a new Blambot project coming’ atcha on Monday. This is the only clue you’re going to get till then! Stay tuned…

Ace in your face Friday

Okay -- all six versions of each letter for Project BNib Shouts Condensed are finished (for realsies this time). I'm back to the point where I can port this over to Fontlab.

For those of you reading D’ORC, you should know that Chicken is my fav character. While lettering the first issue, I emailed Brett and begged him to keep Chicken around. I had no idea if he was just a one-off gag or not. Luckily, Brett already planned to have him as a regular.

This made me happy this morning. Chad Smith crushing The Who's "Won't Get Fooled Again": youtu.be/HFU1XBLnIRs?...

So no one (including me!) noticed that I only had FOUR versions of each letter finished for Project BNib Shouts Condensed, even though I've been saying "six versions" this whole time. HA! I was ready to port this over to Fontlab, but now I'm going back and adding two more of each. D'OH!

Out today!

Hi, folks. In-between lettering gigs, I'm working on the clean-up of Project BNib Condensed (bottom). Then I'll port all of these over to Fontlab. As you may know, the regular version (top) is already a finished font. Later, I'll make italic versions of both and get the set out to you.

Yer damn right we did!

Lovely day. I'm dragging ass due to the (stupid, outdated, pointless--just pick one and stick with it for fuck's sake) time change. About to start lettering D'ORC #5, and I'm listening to live tracks of Big Head Todd & The Monsters in the studio.

I am having way too much fraggin' fun lettering LOBO.

First explodey of the day. (LOBO #2 - Digitally hand drawn with my Cockroacher brush in Illustrator)

Lovely day. Lettering a new issue of SKottie Young & Jorge Corona's LOBO and listening to Big Wreck. (Ever heard of them? Go listen!) Chugging water. Planning to hit my LCS, Fantasy Zone, later to drop off more copies of D'ORC #1 (2nd print) because they keep running out!

Someone make a screen printed shirt like this, and I'll buy one.

How’s the quality of Threadless shirts/merch? I’m a real hard-ass when it comes to graphic tees. I’m old school. Nothing beats ACTUAL screen printing…but I get it that it’s not feasible for print on demand.

Hot take: we all need a t-shirt that just says… PANCAKES …across the chest, in a gentle arc, and in a collegiate font.

Project BNib Shouts Regular is done! 6 versions of every letter, 3 versions of each number, and !, ?, etc. These will swap out as you type. Next, I'll begin the Condensed Reg. version. Then I'll make italics for both. Four fonts in the set. I think I even have a permanent name for these! Stay tuned.

To celebrate I HATE FAIRYLAND's 50th issue, I was asked to design this "old school" team up cover logo treatment that will be used across many Image comics in April!

Lovely day. Weekend emails have been answerred, I've packaged up the latest orders for the Lettering Guide, and I've delivered final files for Elfquest: Siege at Blue Mountain #4 re-mastering. About to letter the 2nd issue of an unannounced DH project.

I have a love/hate relationship with Gibson Les Pauls. They’re too damn heavy (9-10lbs) I’ve played dozens of LPs over the years, but these are the only 3 I’ve ever loved enough to buy. All 3 are from 2007, all versions of the Classic 60s model, and all are very light! 8lbs!

Yer damn right we did!

Lovely day. Dealing with a colossal headache today. Swallowed some Excedrin Migraine, and I'm working until I can't. Listening to Halestorm in the studio. Save me, Lzzy Hale. You're my only hope.

We had a college student die during the blizzard here in RI—because the power was out, he attempted to recharge his phone in his car without first clearing snow away from the exhaust pipe. Poor kid died of carbon monoxide poisoning. Please be extra careful during storms, folks.

RIP, Robert Carradine. Very sad news. As a kid, I LOVED Revenge of the Nerds, and have followed his work ever since. #MentalHealthAwareness

Lovely day. Status update post blizzard: The good news: I am off generator power since electricity was restored late last night. The bad news: There is 30" of snow in my driveway, and a downed tree. So I'm stuck here until my plow guy & his crew can make it here with chainsaws.

Lovely day. Two feet of snow (so far), 50+mph winds, a tree down in my driveway. Running on generator power. Hope your day is going better than mine. Believe it or not, that's my patio table...

Update on Project BNibShouts Regular: Class kerning is done, but the font does not have its basic kerning finished yet (as you can see with some wonky letter pairs below.) In any case, here' the very first look at the glyphs displayed together in sentences.

Lovely day. Lettering AMERICAN CAPER #8 and listening to Rage Against the Machine, Prophets of Rage, and Public Enemy in the studio. \m/ \m/

Yer damn right we did! Wahooo!

Lovely day. Here's someone realizing they've just made a bad decision. (From issue 1 of an unannounced DH project)

PEE-kōs

First unhappy customer of the day.

I found another t-shirt that perfectly sums up my personality.

Lovely day. I'm trying to wrap up the back half of issue 1 of an unannounced Dark Horse project, but I keep getting other "quickie" tasks dropped on me that are the priority of a white-hot dying star. Listening to Mad Season in the studio. Man, I wish those guys had done more.

All the glyph cells are finished for Project BNibShouts Regular...all 666 of them! MWAHAHAH! Six versions of each letter, 3 of each number and three of . ! ? Next up: kerning.

Lovely day. Working a short holiday schedule today. Listening to the new Megadeth album in the studio, chugging water, and jumping back and forth between lettering and working on Project BNibShouts regular.

Update on Project BNibShouts Regular: I've got all 6 versions of each letter in their places (red-tinted cells), all 3 versions of each number (teal-tinted cells), and punctuation (brown-tinted cells. (These alts will swap around as you type!) Will have 662 glyphs (so far)!

I've been pretty apathetic about the majority of superhero movies/shows over the last 5+ years--the same beats, the same plots over and over. Nothing new. Ive skipped most of them. BUT...this new Spider-Noir trailer has me intrigued. And, I mean, NICHOLAS CAGE!

Y'all should check out Famous Last Words BB! it's a great looking font that's relatively new, so I haven't seen it used much yet. Still hoping to find a place to use it myself soon.

I've been using Blambot's fonts on my comics for over 15 years. They are an indispensable tool for comic artists!
