Part of a piece I've revised entitled "Nashville Type". This area focuses on signage from an old diner-type restaurant named Vandyland near Vanderbilt University. Unfortunately, Vandyland no longer exists.

6.15.12_design album covers

Saw the movie Rock of Ages tonight which inspired this 70s-feel album cover design. In college, I always thought it would be cool to design the cover of an album—11 square inches of real estate. Maybe that's why I use the square format a lot in my design...

If you have not seen the Miyazaki film My Neighbor Totoro go out and find it—right now. It is so imaginative and joyful, a story for all ages. I had the pleasure of seeing it on the big screen. I can't get the ending song out of my head!

6.6.12_I want to be like Doyald

Doyald Young was the ultimate gentleman and extraordinary typographer. He knew intimately the ins and outs of letterforms and how to create the most graceful swashes. This image is created from drawing Doyald's  typeface "Young Baroque".
