Bodoni Painting :: Day 5

02Jun07

It’s coming. Very frustrating that day. I felt like I was painting too much, overworking it. When that happens, for some reason, I keep painting when I should just quit for the day. After letting it sit for a day or two, I’m liking it more. I guess it’s a good lesson in being patient [...]

Illustrating with Type

07Apr07

Check out Typographic Illustration by a design group named ni9e. I don’t know much about them, but this specific project is pretty sweet.
