2025 / #07: Declutter I’m back from two weeks in Goa, and honestly, I don’t quite feel like getting back to real life. I’m a quarter Goan, and there’s a part of me that feels like home there. It’s hot and muggy, but I love that the capital city
2025 / #06: Looking Forward May and June are my busiest months every year, and somehow, every year, I forget this fact and am surprised anew by it. I haven’t figured out why, but lettering work accumulates to the middle of the year, while December-January are arid, cleft as they are by the American
Hobson-Jobson Recently I bought a copy of the British-Raj-era classic reference book Hobson-Jobson. I was at dinner with my friend Pranav (who makes great videos that combine history and trivia with cooking, such as this one), and we were discussing favourite dictionaries (because, as I was telling him, K thinks it’
Productivity Systems and the Bullet Journal I’m trying to turn this thing back into a proper blog and not just a newsletter archive, so I’m going to try and write shorter, more frequent posts. (This one’s not short, because it’s basically four blog posts I couldn’t be bothered to separate.) I’

January 2025 Round-Up In January, I read 3 prose books, 1 play, 5 comics, watched 13 movies (including 2 short films), and 2 seasons of television. The dearth of movies and tv are explicable – I have to be out of the house a lot these days, and I refuse to watch anything more
2025 / #04: You Just Like Good Movies Updates Links A Brief Note on Fandom That’s January done. At first, it felt like it was going by too fast, but then I looked at everything I’d done in the month (I’ve returned to keeping a diary regularly, and it helps one see what’s happening
2025 / #03: Connections Updates Links Comics Newsletters/Blogs Last week saw the release of w0rldtr33 #12 by James Tynion IV, Fernando Blanco, Jordie Bellaire and myself, from Image Comics. There was the delightful news that our books Spectregraph and The Oddly Pedestrian Life of Christopher Chaos were nominated for the GLAAD award for
2025 / #02: Lynchian Updates New books Shout-Outs RIP David Lynch This week has been a light one at work. I wrapped up the lettering for Resurrection Man #3 and w0rldtr33 #13, but there wasn’t much left to be done on either. The main project for the week was to begin scripting on
2025 / #01: Kindnesses Rejig Resurrection Man: Quantum Karma Updates Links Just Enough Kindness So! It’s 2025, and I wanted to do the newsletter differently this year – consider it a new season, so to speak.
