Yes, I do draw also, mostly for myself. I went to an art school for comics and once out of it found that lettering was an easy way to break into the industry and have stuck with it.

I had the honor of lettering a Tom King, Jim Lee, Scott Williams, Alex Sinclair edits by Marie Javins story for the upcoming Supes/Spidey team-up book! Gambit shows up which reminded me I worked on his 1st appearnce at Marvel long ago. Now I can quit comics because it's all gone full circle. ;)

You’ve been reading too many comic books. A scene from The Mob, 1951.

In the U.S. freelancers can't have a union. They can have a guild but not a union and the two are very different.

Some of my hand lettering from the Jim Lee X-Men Artifact Edition. Not my photos by the way but from a video I found online. It'd be nice if letterers got comp copies of artist's editions if their work is featured...but, nope.

Nine days ago rump had his first ever board off peace meeting…last night he and Israel declared war on Iran. Talk about a confused madman.

Don’t get me wrong though, it’s an excellent documentary.

So far, this is my favorite moment in the Paul McCartney documentary Man on the Runβ€”Nick Lowe’s commentary on Paul doing a version of Mary had a little lamb. ;)

I just watched a little or rump's state of the union and he sounds like a drunk man shouting gibberish at his local bar to no one before he stumbles home to sleep it off and spout the same old crap the next day.

R.I.P., Robert Carradine. Here he is in a very memorable scene from Martin Scorsese's Mean Streets where he shoots a character portrayed by his brother David Carradine and a crazy fight ensues.

I have to letter something today that includes a lot of THWIPPs...which is a pretty good thing I think.

At times I forget I have dual citizenship which I had done last year. I haven't really done anything with it but it's good to know I have it considering things these days.

Please enjoy this original Torpedo drawing by Jordi Bernet I bought from a German art dealer a few years ago.

Looking at a copy of Wolverine #90 I hand lettered and I was reminded of how much work it was to letter because of the multiple pullouts. None of the lettering was done on the actual art but on vellum overlays over taped together xeroxes and then sent to Marvel where it was pasted up onto the art.

Yes, that works and is more of an English way of pronouncing it. The French love to draw out the S’s so Brosss-OH.

Bross-oh NOT Brew-so...which drives me crazy!! Yes, my last name does NOT rhyme with Clouseau.

R.I.P., Robert Duvall at the incredible age of 95. I loved him in a lot of films, Bullit, M*A*S*H, THX 1138, The Godfather, Network, Apocalypse Now and many others. And remember--"Charlie don't surf!"

Happy Birthday to my dad who would have been 100 today! I highly doubt he would have made it to 100 but, hey, it would have been nice. Here he is on the left with my Uncle Norman enjoying the sun on the shores of Old Orchard Beach, Maine sometime in the late 60s.

I really don't consider myself a writer but sometimes when you come up with a great idea you just have to go for it. Doing some home comics with one of my pals.
