It appears that FontShop’s last issue of Font Magazine has sold out. You can download a pdf version of the feature article I wrote about graffiti for that issue here. Please download it to conserve bandwidth, as opposed to opening it via a browser- it is print-resolution and will take ages to view in a web browser.
Work-wise, doing a number of shirts for Velvet Revolver and some identity projects in the works.

Happy New Year! Looking forward to exciting stuff in the New Year.
Just finished up a rasher of apparel graphics for Meat Loaf and cooking up some other fun stuff.
I was just interviewed over at Portland’s fashion/style/culture blogUltra.

From Fontshop’s latest e-newsletter:
MADE WITH FONTFONT: THE BOOK
“Made with FontFont”, edited by FontShop co-founder Erik Spiekermann and Dutch writer-designer Jan Middendorp, showcases the history and influence of the award-winning foundry. The book is replete with real-world examples of FontFonts in use, from high-profile ad campaigns for big automakers and fast food giants to iconic poster designs for the Tyson/Tubbs heavyweight battle in Tokyo and New York’s Shakespeare in the Park.
“Made with FontFont” includes art and articles by Strange Attractors, John D. Berry, Peter Bilak, Neville Brody, Susanna Dulkinys, Eboy, Rian Hughes, Max Kisman, Akira Kobayashi, LettError, Ellen Lupton, Ian Lynam, Martin Majoor, Albert-Jan Pool, Paula Scher, Christian Schwartz, Nick Shinn, Fred Smeijers, Studio Dumbar, and xplicit.
“Made with FontFont” is a companion to “FiFFteen”, an exhibition celebrating FontFont and FUSE. The show has been traveling internationally, with previous stops including Barcelona, Berlin, Helsinki, London, and New York. “FiFFteen” will open in Los Angeles in the spring.

A new article up on PingMag about the life and times of designer Sean Tejaratchi and his clip art zine, Crap Hound.

New issue of Rap-Up on newsstands now and in the Periodical section. New tee shirt collections for the Beatles and John Lennon, as well as one more for the Dirtbag. Garage Gear women’s line dropping shortly.

I just finished an article for Ping about LOST, an amazing Los Angeles graffiti zine and about some aspects of L.A. graffiti that intrigue me. I am particularly interested in the influence of blackletter (often called Old English in the U.S.) lettering on L.A. graffiti. The article includes a world premiere film about the work of Atlas CBS, a highly influential and active L.A. writer. Due to the volume of information covered, Ping is using an edited version of the article. The full-length version is here.
