A fun personal project I started a few months back to practice some lettering. Right now it’s on hold due to school, but I’m hoping to write all the names of my Facebook friends by the end of summer.

I’m sorry but I can’t stop listening to this.

Hand-painted type on a bench in Scaborough.

Going to make an effort to look for cool typography around the city and document them here. This chalk lettering is on a sandwich board outside Noce restaurant along Queen St. W.

I wonder who made it?

LP cover design for Jhameel’s Soldier’s Daughter. This is a comp I made for a school project, but I don’t think I’ll be using this for the final since my prof wants me to go a different direction.

Labor Day means hanging out in the backyard with the dog, eating maple walnut ice cream, and watching the National Geographic channel all night with my dad.

I was lucky enough to get a copy of Offscreen Magazine Issue #2 thanks to Nick who himself is featured in this issue. It’s a nice light summer read for those who are interested in the stories behind the people who make great things on the web.

Thanks again Kai and Nick!

Major props to the Canadian Women’s National Team for their incredible performance. That was one hell of a game!

A little exercise to challenge myself to try different type styles. Suggestions for other words are welcome!

A couple of messy doodles done using my trusty blue pen. I find that drawing letters is waaay more fun than drawing people, which is why I’m so pumped for my three type classes this coming semester. Wooooh!

Next, I’m going to try some hand-painted type and do some more calligraphy.
