typesetting (only one part of lettering) is not just "put in text". you need to know what looks good and stupid AI does not know that! and every attempt at this has always been something ugly as hell, disrespectful af, that someone in my position has to clean up!! wasting everyone's time and money!!
“GlobalComix’s AI translation copilot delivers 85–90% cost savings compared to industry-standard manual translation.”
These AI tools will always rely on underpaid freelancers doing three jobs for a fraction of the wage of one. They’re merely a justification for not paying people.

Three copies of Billy Bat volume 1 in English.
Totally surreal feeling that I can hold an English copy of Billy Bat in my hands. Even more that I got to work on it with @lettererbrendo.bsky.social and @editortiina.bsky.social. Super grateful to @abramskana.bsky.social for bringing it bringing us on.
Order it!

Manga companies, please pay us $8/page!
The small and new publishers can do it, surely the big companies with owners who make $3 million+ per year can afford it too!!

I'm lettering the English version of the manga adaptation of the hit indie-animated series "The Amazing Digital Circus", it's such a funny series!
Thanks Phil, glad you enjoyed it ☺️
Thanks bru!!
Glad you like it 😌
Thank you ☺️
At last, I hope you enjoyed it!
If anyone wants to read about Seitai, here's a good book 😃
I liked that KRASH the most!
Also, some SFX in bubbles was handmade too!
The author did an interesting way to introduce characters, so I am! I did handwrite the names to look as close as possible to the authors' ones.
Finally, this is out!
I did the lettering for Kinato's Magic!
I'll share some cool SFXs here!
I liked the art and found the first chapter interesting tho!
First, I designed a simple logo!

more to come for next year!! so much more!!!!!
If you don't want gen AI in your manga, anime, game, and light novel translations, now is the time to make your voice heard. Write to your favorite publishers and developers and ask if they are incorporating LLMs into their process. And most importantly, tell them you will vote with your dollars.
happy letterer appreciation day! if you’d like to follow more manga letterers here, I have a list for you: go.bsky.app/8XNn7Eu

On the left is the logo for Pretzel, which is a pretzel with the text "Pretzel" in a cute script font. On the right is the back of the sticker, with calligraphy "Sara Linsley" and link to my website sara.pizza
I'm having some cute Pretzel stickers printed for ANYC, but I don't think they'll get here in time 😭🫠
