Around this time two years ago my girlfriend gave me this gem by Lure to promise I would never use these frowned upon typefaces (if we are allowed to even call them that) again. Let’s make is clear I never touched any of these typefaces prior.

The big problem was my growing collection of prints which have unique sizes. In this case 20x26 for the print to which “I Will Never Use Hobo, Comic Cans, or Papyrus Ever Again”. The Gods have answered as I received a Blick 40% of custom framing today, and if my tax returns come back in time for the sale I have a new piece for the wall!

I encourage all designers to grab one. They’re a steep $10. 

Been looking at Alex Prior’s portfolio site for about fifty-ish-minutes and there isn’t a project I don’t love. This recent graduate has some ill concepts and gorgeous typography. He has also found himself getting plenty of praise from D&AD as well.

Dig the work of Chris Silas Neal who works up at Greenpoint’s Pencil Factory. His handwritten typography, colors, and textures makes his work really interesting and inspiring. My favorite piece is the above Fleet Foxes poster. I just love the color combo with the rad illustrations.
