Kunito Nagaoka is a Japanese printmaker with a long career as an artist. Born in 1940, he grew up and studied art in his country, then lived in Berlin, Germany, for 20 years. Now, he teaches art in a Fine Art school in Kyoto.
Nagaoka’s work is full of mystery, often involving landscape that include geometric architectural structure that give it an alien-like look-and-feel. For his time, the Japanese artist used exceptional etching techniques that make his work stand out from the crowd.

It’s an extension:
Each Container stores cookies separately, so you can log into the same site with different accounts and online trackers can’t easily connect the browsing.
A great idea for a feature if you ask me. For example, I have two Buffer accounts and my solution is to use different browsers entirely to stay logged into both of them. I know plenty of folks that prefer the browser version of apps like Notion, Front, and Twitter, and it’s cool to have a way to log into the same site with multiple accounts if you need to — and without weird trickery.
This is browsers competing on UI/UX features rather than web platform features, which is a good thing. Relevant: Opera Neon and Refresh.

This tutorial will show you how to create a cool-looking comic-book ink text effect using Photoshop’s layer styles, filters, and automatically applied custom brushes.
This text effect is based on Comic Book Ink Actions from Envato Market. The Action transforms any text or shape into comic-book-style type in high-resolution 300 DPI with possible color customization.
The following assets were used during this tutorial:
Open Adobe Photoshop, go to File > Open, and choose paper-background.jpg.
Go to Edit > Presets > Preset Manager… In the Preset Type, select Patterns, and then click Load… and choose the Comic-book-ink-pattern.pat.
Go to Edit > Presets > Preset Manager… In the Preset Type, select Brushes, and then click Load… and choose the Comic-book-ink-brushes.abr.
Pick the Type Tool (T) and write „COMIC”, and then hit the key Enter and write „BOOK”. Choose the HVD Comic Serif font and then go to Window > Character and set the Size to 225 pt, Tracking to -50, and Leading to 183 pt. Then go Window > Paragraph and choose Center text.
Go to Type > Warp text, and set the Style to Arc and Bend to +5%. Click OK.
You will now prepare text layers for the style you will apply. To do so, first go to Layer > Smart Object > Convert to Smart Object and then go to Layer > Duplicate Layer… and name the layer „COMIC BOOK 2”. Now repeat the duplicating until you have created a „COMIC BOOK 5” layer.
Select the layer „COMIC BOOK” and double click this layer to apply the following layer style:
Set the Blending Options:
Add a Bevel and Emboss with these settings:
#000000
Add a Contour with these settings:
Add an Inner Glow with these settings:
#ffffff
Add a Satin style with these settings:
#5fbd13
Add a Color Overlay with these settings:
#92b506
Add a Pattern Overlay with these settings:
Click OK.
Go to Filter > Distort > Wave… and use these settings:
Click OK.
Select the layer „COMIC BOOK 2” and then double click this layer to apply the following layer style:
Set the Blending Options:
Add an Inner Shadow with these settings:
#000000
Add an Outer Glow with these settings:
#000000
Click OK.
Go to Filter > Distort > Wave… and use these settings:
Click OK.
Go to Layer > Smart Object > Convert to Smart Object.
Select the layer „COMIC BOOK 3” and then double click this layer to apply the following layer style:
Set the Blending Options:
Add a Color Overlay with these settings:
#bbf100
Go to Filter > Distort > Wave… and use these settings:
Click OK.
Go to Filter > Distort > Wave… and use these settings:
Click OK.
Select the layer „COMIC BOOK 4” and then double click this layer to apply the following layer style:
Set the Blending Options:
Add a Color Overlay with these settings:
#7be300
Go to Filter > Distort > ZigZag… and use these settings:
Click OK.
Go to Filter > Distort > Ripple… and use these settings:
Click OK.
Go to Filter > Distort > Wave… and use these settings:
Click OK.
Select the layer „COMIC BOOK 5” and then double click this layer to apply the following layer style:
Set the Blending Options:
Add a Pattern Overlay with these settings:
Add an Outer Glow with these settings:
#000000
Click OK.
Go to Filter > Distort > Wave… and use these settings:
Click OK.
This is the result after you applied all of the styles and filters to the text layers.
You will create seven blank layers for the brushes. To do so, you can use one of the options below.
Option 1: Click the Create New Layer button at the bottom of your Layers panel seven times, and then double click each layer’s name to rename the layers to „Brush 1”, „Brush 2”, and so on.
Option 2: Go to Layer > New > Layer… and set the name to „Brush 1”, and then repeat this step and stop with the layer „Brush 7”.
Select the „Brush 1” layer and then hold down the Control key and click on the thumbnail of the „COMIC BOOK” layer to make a selection.
Go to Window > Paths and click the Make work path from selection button at the bottom of the Paths panel.
Now go to Window > Brushes and select the Big dots brush, and then Right click on the Work Path layer in your Paths panel and select Stroke Path… from the menu. Select Tool: Brush, uncheck the Simulate Pressure button, and click OK.
Tip: Each time you do this step, the result will be different. So if you don’t like the brush result, you can hold down the Control key and hit the Z key to undo this step, and then repeat the stroke path.
While the „Brush 1” layer is selected, hold down the Control key and click on the thumbnail of „COMIC BOOK” layer to make a selection again, and then go to Layer > Layer Mask > Hide Selection to apply the selection as a mask for the „Brush 1” layer.

In this tutorial, you learned how to use layer styles, filters and custom brushes to create a comic-book text effect in Adobe Photoshop.
We started by creating our text, and then we used layer styles and filters on our text layers, and finally we added different custom brushes.
I hope you have enjoyed this tutorial. Please feel free to leave your comments, suggestions and outcomes below. This text effect we just created is inspired by Comic Book Ink Actions – 300 DPI, which will automatically apply the comic-book effect to any text or shape in high resolution.
