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 🙏🏻

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!

Still fighting this, and still really appreciating everyone who’s kept faith in me! I’ll be back to full strength very soon, for sure.
Thanks to all the editors, writers, artists and publishers who’ve been patient with me over the past few weeks while I’ve been trying to fight off a nasty bout of pneumonia. This is a full-time career for me so I really appreciate everyone who’s stood by me. Sickness as a freelancer is terrifying.
