Oh! I think I lettered this, and I didn't realise the art was from @sharkbitesteve.bsky.social!

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 πŸ™πŸ»

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

No new projects so far - so please keep me in mind when you're staffing your new series! I can be requested via your WFH editor, or reach out to me if you're developing a creator owned book!

Enjoy the work of one of the finest artists to ever grace comics.

Would never discourage someone from giving it a go, but I've never known a time when there were so many pro letterers fighting to fill their schedules with work.

Need to send you an email about this, because I've literally just cured my 35-year-long allergy/sinus issue. It's transformed my concentration and energy levels. I feel like "me" again.

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

Aww, thank you so much, Mike! Hope we'll be collaborating again before too long, it's always a pleasure!

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 πŸ™πŸ»

I’d forgotten just how bad this industry used to be. Not that it’s perfect now.

I don't have any "nazi homies" - be very careful what you say about a person in the public domain. Frazer's a good guy who needs help, and people are going to help him out irrespective of what he may or may not repost on the internet.

I don't usually check whether people are "left wing" or "right wing" before trying to help them out.
