I’ve excerpted a minute’s worth of footage from Sony’s “This is an Ambigram” – one of the Special Features on the Angels and Demons DVD (and BluRay) – including a bit of my interview, and posted it on the Angels & Demons part of my ambigram page, and on YouTube as well. Check it out!

Type Directors Club gallery opening
February 28, 2010

The Type Directors Club gallery opening on February 4th was well attended and a lot of fun. Here’s a photo taken before anyone showed up. Click to enlarge.

Three weeks later I was back at TDC once again. I have admired Tony DiSpigna’s incredible, and sometimes outrageous Spencerian script lettering for a very long time. I had the pleasure of meeting Tony at his talk at TDC on February 24th.

My paintings are still on display there through the end of March.

Font Aid I by The Society of Typographic Aficionados
February 8, 2010

The Society of Typographic Aficionados recently sponsored Font Aid IV, a project uniting the typographic and design communities in raising funds to expedite relief efforts in Haiti. As my contribution to this effort, I created this ampersand as a hope for Haiti’s future, when the current cloud of troubles has passed and the sun shines again for the Haitian people. The Society of Typographic Aficionados recently sponsored Font Aid IV, a project uniting the typographic and design communities in raising funds to expedite relief efforts in Haiti. Type designers, graphic designers and other artists from around the world were invited to contribute artwork to be included in a typeface created exclusively for the Font Aid IV effort. The theme of Font Aid IV is “Coming Together” which we will represented though a font consisting entirely of ampersands. Coming Together will be made available for sale throughseveral type distributors, with all proceeds going to Doctors Without Borders. SOTA, a US-based non-profit, is acting as a non-partisan organizing body to help coordinate the effort and ensure all funds are distributed appropriately.
