Jordie Bellaire

Following a Tumblr post by Bellaire in early 2013, fans declared January 24 to be "Colorist Appreciation Day", in order to celebrate how much the color adds to the artwork of any given comic. In her post, an open letter titled "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it any more", directed at an unnamed fan convention, she talks about how important the colorist is but how little recognition they get, saying "Colorists are the unknown amazing backup singer that makes every track awesome". ==Eisner Awards==

Bellaire has won the Eisner Award for Best Coloring five times, in 2014, 2016, 2023, 2024 and 2025. She has the second most awards out of any individual in this category. ==References==
