{090709-091309} Bright Young Things (A Week in Type, Part 1)

Here's what I've been working on for the past week or so... A new show poster for Bright Young Things that's all typographic, pulling from signpainting traditions digitized from paint and paper. Hand lettering at large and small scales is always fun, but digitizing those specimens is surprisingly difficult. Sometime in the future (so vague, I know...) I'd like to take some time and really work on digitizing some consistent alphabets based on my handwriting, but for now I think these will do for the purpose they were drawn for. I'll post an image of the final poster as soon as I finish it later this week.

  2. uhh... no coincidence! as a longstanding member of the b-team, i feel comfortable admitting that there's been some minor "cheating" in this post between naked gods and holy liars... glad you like it!

  3. I'm starting a new band, immediately, in hopes that you can begin making posters for me again.
