I still had last week's Taskmaster prize task in mind when I pulled this SFX to share (“The best thing you can either rip or ride or both”)-- insert your idea of "thing being ripped"!

Sometimes you must convey that feeling when you walk into the club and the bass physically pushes you around.
Sound effects from the first issue of a Work in Progress, a new mini-series for BlackBox Comics to be announced soon!

Working on a new project! Here’s a bit of a sound effect process for a character, uh, expelling something from their body. I’ve been leaning on ComiCraft’s “Whatchamacallit” font for SFX on this project and love the classic style it gives off.

If you love that Jimmy Olsen book, you definitely need to check out The Fix-- I hand sell it at the comic shop by saying it's basically a couple ne'er-do-wells vs. a drug-sniffing dog.

It's awesome to see the first issue of RYSK hitting comic shops--I lettered it, and it's the first direct market book that I've had a hand in designing (the inside front cover is by me!) and doing file prep and exports for, so it's a relief to see it turn out so great (and for the barcode to scan)!

In honor of this week's finale of the excellent Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, legit one of my favorite #marvel animated series ever-- here's a Sound Effects Cover that I, uh, thwipped up in Illustrator using a standard comic font for the center and hand-drawn glyphs for the rest. THWIP!

It's so exciting to see RYSK #1 in Previews this month, from BlackBox Comics-- written by @dgchichester.bsky.social and with art by @mannixfrancisco.bsky.social, the interior lettering is by me! Can't wait for sneak peak pages to hit so we can share how awesome it looks on the inside!
