Potting & Fertilizing ▼

Is Calathea Vittata difficult to care for? ▼

Calathea Vittata requires consistent care with attention to humidity and water quality, but it's quite rewarding once you establish a routine. The key is maintaining proper humidity and using quality water for optimal stripe development.

This book was so good. No flaws, I’m obsessed. The scheming parents, the family drama, the “forbidden” romance. All of it had me grasping for more. I love a good sapphic romance and this book did NOT disappoint!! The premise of this story was so compelling and I really felt for the main characters in their personal self-discovery journey as well as their familial relationship journey. It is pretty insta-love, but the background and actual plot make it so worth it. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a sapphic romance with a little magical twist to it!

It truly is the most Essential Guide
Format: Paperback
I've worked as a professional comic book letterer for more than a decade. I've had to learn a lot through trial and error since there was so little written about this technical field of work. Finally, there is now a book for amateur letterers to have all they need to understand the craft and for professional letterers to both reference and pick up new ideas from. This book isn't just a tutorial on "how to letter comics." This also showcases creative ways to letter, interesting techniques that even experienced letterers might not know about, and - what I found to be the most helpful - the realities of a letterer's freelance life and ways the write had worked to develop a good workflow and healthy work schedule to avoid burnout or physical strain. This is an engaging book, so even if you know how to letter well or you know nothing about lettering and want to understand the kind of work that letterers do, I highly recommend this as a great read. Through my experience, I developed very different methods than what this guide described, but both are valid and I even picked up new ideas and tried out new ways of doing things while reading this book. If you want to learn how to letter, buy this book. If you want to be a better letterer, buy this book. If you don't want to letter but you want to know more about how comics are made or how one freelances in this industry, this guide is great for that too. The only thing missing is a thorough explanation on how to develop one's own comic book fonts, but like the author said, that would take up an entire book in itself. Here's hoping one day there's a companion guide to comic book font creation, because I would love to learn more about that too.

Truly Essential! The perfect guide to Comic Book Lettering!
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
I'm completely new to Comic Book Lettering with some experience in Graphic Design but I picked this up just for my curiosity. After taking a quick flip with the book, It does not disappoint and lives up exactly to the title. It TRULY is the essential guide to Comic Book Lettering. This book comes from Nate Piekos who is the founder of BLAMBOT (one of the most professional comic book lettering companies to date). He drops every bit of wisdom and experience he's ever received / gotten through into this book and the result speaks for itself. All the tools, techniques, tips, discussions, etc are found here. He goes through what he uses / recommends for programs and tools, breaks down the structures of what goes into comic book lettering (balloons / dialogue / captions / fonts / etc), teaches you how to create a useful / time-saving templates, gives you pointers even at the most subtle aspects of lettering, covering / creating dialogue balloons, covering / creating sound effects, covering / creating logos, etc. There's so much information and visual imagery here within these pages that I can talk about this book day and night.. and again: I'm completely new to this. The book is honestly that inspiring. I recommend this, without a doubt. A master class in comic lettering! Truly thankful for Nate Piekos creating this book as well as those that helped bring it to publication.

Truly "essential" for any letterer, whether casual or serious about the profession!
Format: Paperback
When I first got this book, I was a bit disappointed. I thought it was going to be detailing lettering by hand. It didn't. But guess what? It's better for it. As the author, Nate Peikos, demonstrates, the bulk of lettering now is done digitally and with good reason. So not only is this book incredibly inspiring for any graphic artist / letterer -- with its many examples of great lettering; its demonstration of useful techniques -- the author is so open and honest in his writing. While reading it, you don't feel that he's putting the job of lettering out of the reader's reach. In fact, he's putting it right within reach through a humility that is coupled with his exceptional skills. If you're an up-and-coming letterer, someone on the outskirts of lettering wanting to delve into it more professional (like myself), or even if you've had some work doing lettering, there is something for each type in this book. It's a book that I'll cherish and reference frequently, especially with all the examples that just ooze inspiration. My only regret is that I didn't know about some of these techniques a few years ago! But, nevertheless, I started implementing some of the techniques the first day after reading just a few pages. It reinvigorated my own desire to become a better and even semi-professional letterer, a very under-appreciated profession.
