Career
Career
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". Bellaire is credited with starting the "Comics are for everybody" initiative in 2014 to make the comic book community more inclusive and compassionate. In 2015, Bellaire along with Declan Shalvey created the poster for the American TV series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. episode "One of Us".
