I'm probably still the only artist to do lettering like this. Usually, the lettering isn't part of the artwork and is done seperately to keep the art clean. For me, I sometimes like the lettering to be part of the art. When i visualise the image, sometimes I can't see it without the lettering and it makes sense to combine the two to make one piece. And I actually enjoy doing hand lettering like this. I hand lettered the cover titles to just about all of my books. It's the interior lettering for the dialogue and text that's a major pain.

Is all the lettering (inside the books) yours as well?
Thats pretty cool, it looks really organic to the graphics, now I guess I know the reason. :)
the lettering to all of my books, besides the color FANG series and GIRL: The Second Coming was hand lettered by me. (although, with the first volume of Second Coming, i used my computer to do the lettering. the next 2 volumes were lettered by someone else, much better than i could do.)
I rather liked the organic feel of your hand lettering. It was somehow more personal feeling to see words squeezed to fit, etc. :)
