My first attempt at lettering

[Clem Robins]

are these your own drawings? why don't you hand letter them instead? there are a gazillion people lettering digitally. get a pen and do it yourself. that's my suggestion. maybe letter it digitally first, print it out, and trace the digital letters on a lightbox.

if you develop your own style, this'll help you select the fonts that best express your own graphic sense. or maybe better still, you'll design your own type. gee, i'm like a broken record.
