I have a copy of this. It’s a fantastic book by @blambot.bsky.social! And you should too. I refer to it at some point during every project!
Do you have the most comprehensive guide to modern comic lettering ever written? It's just $13.34 on Amazon, and it's still got 4.8 stars! 256 pages, full color! Written by Nate Piekos, Introduction by Tom Orzechowski, and published by Image!

Can’t recommend my buddy (and frequent collaborator) @ajschumacherart.bsky.social’s award-winning book highly enough! A must read! Pick one up directly from him!
The publisher for my 2024 middle grade graphic novel, THE EFFECTS OF PICKLED HERRING, has shuttered and in its wake I find myself with a surplus of books. It’s unclear as to whether this title will be in print again so act fast to secure your copy! $15 + shipping.

Welcoming in 2026! Creating comics kept me sane in 2025. It was a blast and a year of huge creative growth, community, and friendships. I’m thankful for it, and for all those supporting, encouraging, mentoring, and joining me on this journey. 2026 is shaping up to be my most ambitious year yet!
