have you read the GN Skim? I bought it from MoCCA and got some free badges, one of which states "Julie Peters needs a lobotomy" taken from the book. I like the obscurity of having quotes from little known publications on tiny badges. I would wear a "Chicks dig Ribena" badge, but my Vimto loyalties would limit its frequency.
The twist on Ethan's hand is funny too.
Also, I'd check the spacing on the word Relieve, looks a bit like Reueve.
Reueve's got to be French for something.. Thanks, I'll get it spaced properly before it sees print. I need to work a little harder on my lettering, can see it slipping in places.
Man, you really are getting through this! Good stuff, though.
I was sure I'd already mentioned this, but I really like your lettering, and how it's really solid for the most part. It's a good style. Do you use an Ames guide thingy?
I love that flicking the Vs. Which funnily enough nicely reminded me of when I did that to one of my bosses (as a joke) who was training us at an old job and he complained about me and wanted to get me fired - even though he thought it was alright to call all the girls I worked with slags and be a general all round cunt. I didn't get fired. Nobody liked him. Haha. That was awesome. Ahem, sorry for the ramble, but that's a pretty happy memory.
I've never used an Ames guide, purely because I've never found one. I've looked in every stationary shop, but they're nowhere to be found. I just use a t-square and estimate a decent width. T-squares are hard enough to get hold of..
I felt really guilty after giving a guy at work what was meant to be the Vs but ended up being the bird. It just evolved into the bird. He wasn't expecting it. Why's the bird more offensive than the Vs?
Don't apologise for the rambling - they're the memories that keep our hearts all warmed!
Actually, all I use is a ruler. It's tedious. I don't have a t-square either. But I couldn't not hand letter. Sometimes I put a bit more work in and really work everything out, but I've never worked out spacing. I suppose I probably should. But fuck that! You can probably get all of these tools online in some wonder shop, I imagine, but I feel so used to working this way now.
I think the bird is more aggressive, somehow. I mean, in basic terms, they're both just... genital. With all those connotations! Ha.
