Automate your lettering, save your wrists!
Iβll be running a panel for @cartoonist.coopβs Nib & Ink Festival about how to make your computer do more work and prevent injury while lettering!
Time: May 9 @ 2PM EDT
Place: Zoom / remote

04.03.2026 19:54 β π 4 π 1 π¬ 0 π 0I love love love my job but it certainly comes with its stresses. These pubs could get a lot more awesome, creative letterers and translators that would still bend over backwards to work with them if they simply paid enough for it to be worth the struggle. They absolutely can afford it!!
04.03.2026 17:40 β π 8 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0And even being 4 years almost into lettering, it is STILL intimidating to ask for more when I know it's reasonable, bc at the end of the day we're still just contract workers with no real protection.
04.03.2026 17:40 β π 9 π 1 π¬ 1 π 0And they also only offered $5/pg... I was fresh into lettering trying to pay bills, get into a career (with a part time job on top of it) nor did I feel like I had any real reputation to be able to ask for more... This is less-so an individual issue imo and obviously more an industry problem.
04.03.2026 17:40 β π 7 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0100%. It is also extremely intimidating as a freelancer trying to get by to ask for raises. My experience starting out was $4/pg, asking for more was met with "do more work to make it worth paying you more" AFTER I was told I was one of this pub's best and fastest improved letterers in my first year

With that being said:
β’ Thereβs still no official response in regards to the Seven Seas Union or why Seven Seas employees were not i formed about the acquisition prior
hopefully we get a statement soon like this one but that remains to be seen
I really do hope that they mean what they say in this statement--that Seven Seas will not use AI for translation. It's good to know they're at least aware of our feelings towards it...
