My mother had a few art pieces done like this around the house when i was a child, but i would have never thought to do lettering like Yulia Brodskay has done. Brilliant and so beautiful!

In the hopes to start the New Year off on the right foot, I have been going through my delicious links and will be posting all of the things i tagged and never got around to posting. It’s a little late now but a few months back Typographica reviewed Doyald Young’s new book Dangerous Curves.

The book Adrian Frutiger - Typefaces. The Complete Works is based upon a close collaboration with Adrian Frutiger. In it one can find for the first time a complete and detailed essay on the design of typefaces and logos, including so-far unpublished or never-realised typefaces – from the design phase through the final drafting process to its realisation, from the idea to the marketing stage. The more than 50 typefaces and type designs are presented, explained and examined in chronological order on more than 460 richly illustrated pages.

Hand drawn lettering, scanned and traced in illustrator. The “2008″ is SignPainter by House Industries.
I am a Philadelphia Sports fan which at times can be rough, but tonight we all breath a sign of relief and celebrate a championship. The Phillies beat the Tampa Bay Rays in Game 5 tonight, winning the world series four games to one. This is their’ second World Series win, the first being the 1980 win over Kansas City.
The philly curse is finally lifted! Before tonight the last championship was won by the Sixers in 1983. No team has won since the 1987 construction of Liberty One, built taller than the William Penn statue at City Hall which broke the friendly agreement. When the Comcast Building was built in 2008 a small statue of william penn was placed at the highest point just to be safe.
