Itemizing: August 2008
Posted on August 25, 2008
Here’s a quick rundown of what I’ve been up to for the past few months:
•Zeros 2 Heroes have posted a bunch of their winning books here. Of the 16 comics online, I lettered 13: Abigail’s War, Alma, Black Jack O’Breen, Blake Undying, The Brothers McElroy, Deutschmaschine, Hero High, Lotus, Mind Crimes, Minus One, Rip Current, Slaughter Inc and Supremacy: Dawn of Heroes. Check ‘em out. If you dig the comics, make sure to sign up to the site and become a fan. The more fans a book gets, the greater the chance that the series will be able to continue.
•I’ve been lettering both Gearz and Ray Harryhausen Presents: The Elementals for Bluewater Productions and will hopefully be working on more exciting projects with them down the line.
•Too many pitches to even mention, however there has been some great stuff that I hope publishers will have the good sense to pick up (and not just because it means extra work for me).
•We’re just about to start art on the final issue of The Division, a series that I’ve created and am writing. Should be out in 2009 from Arcana Comics. You can see some of the artwork from the first 2 issues on artist Damian Coucerio’s website: Click!

Speed Racer Out Now!
Posted on March 7, 2008
It’s been awhile. Apologies to those who’ve wondered if I was ever going to update this site. Since I use this site primarily for advertising my lettering work, I will generally only be updating when I have time to take on new work. I’ve been pretty solidly busy for the past year. However, I will be able to take on new work in the next couple of months, so here I am letting you all know.
Updates to published works and more samples soon.
DMP celebrates Speed Racer’s 40th anniversary with a 2 volume hardcover collector’s set. Speed Racer: Mach Go Go Go Box Set is the complete, unabridged version and contains episodes available in the United States for the first time. Join Speed Racer, Racer X, Trixie, Spritle and Chim Chim in this face-paced thriller of action and intrigue.
I lettered the entire second volume in this two volume set (about 360 pages). It was really intense and probably some of my proudest work. The restored artwork looks beautiful and the hardcover book and case look great.
ISBN: 1569707316
ISBN-13: 9781569707319
Dimensions: 6 x 8.5
Release Date: February 26, 2008
SRP: $39.95
I’m currently working on more for DMP, Sean McGrath’s latest issue of Frater Mine, a few projects for Zeros 2 Heroes and two personal projects which I’ve also written — both of which should be out later this year. Also out shortly is the new Avril book. Details when available.

Make 5 Wishes Vol. 1 - Out Today
Posted on April 10, 2007
Check it out — the first full-colour book that I have had the opportunity to letter hits store shelves today.
From the Random House website:
“Hana just doesn’t fit in. At school, she feels like the invisible girl. (“No. Not invisible. Being invisible would’ve been cool. I just wasn’t worth noticing.”) And at home, she avoids her parents’ arguments by retreating to her bedroom, where she spends hours online, playing the part of various cool, smart, sexy, and popular alteregos, and kicks back with her all-time idol and very best (though only in her imagination) friend, rebel rocker Avril Lavigne. One night she runs across a mysterious website called Make5Wishes.com. Somehow, she can’t click away–and before she knows it, she’s ordered a package guaranteed to make dreams come true. But will it end up being a Pandora’s box? It all depends on the lovable but wily demon inside. Is Hana sure she knows what she wants? And does she know that what you want can be very different from what you get?”
The book was a lot of fun to work on and is much darker than you might think!
I will post some of my lettering samples in the next day or two.
Script by Joshua Dysart and art by Camilla d’Errico.
Produced by House of Parlance and published by Random House/Del Rey
