If you’ll be in Portland for @typecon next month, I wholeheartedly encourage you to stop by this show of type and lettering work organized by my pal and tattoo artist, Travis Wheeler (who drew this promo and all its lettering).

I finally took down the shop at letraslut.com, since it cost about as much to run as it was earning. However, you can still go there to check out the wiki for my dry-transfer archive, and you can click the Shop link to write me with any special requests. (I still have a LOT available.)

My pals at Cadson Demak were kind enough to invite me to their podcast before I leave Bangkok in the morning. (I appear around the 1-hour mark.) https://www.youtube.com/live/8xcIPtr4WaU?si=wIXAk_BmM5G8DLzh

I may be at BITS in Bangkok on Monotype duty next week, but if you ask real nice you might get one of this first batch of Bijou Type promos. 😉
My fellow teachers and I are planning a Zoom call for next Saturday afternoon/evening to share info about TipoItalia with anyone who might be interested in joining us this Summer. If you might love to be there, please visit http://tipoitalia.net this week, and email us for more info. We’ll send Zoom details to anyone who can join the call.

At least I know the punctuation marks are just right. I had been looking for just the right marks for the fingers tattoos I had been planning, only to realize I had already designed exactly the shapes I wanted for Buckram.
I realize it’ll never be the workhorse I need until they’re done, but earlier last year I felt like if I didn’t release the uprights, I would sit on the project forever. Meanwhile, I’ve forced myself to play with weight for emphasis more than I typically would.
