Give A Damn



I recently finished a run of my new Give A Damn posters which you can check out here. This poster was initially inspired by a statement I saw saying "Design like you give a damn." I thought of creating this poster so that each person could make it their own personalized motivational poster and put in what they give a damn about in the area above the words. It is custom lettering and my Atreyu typeface below. Silk screened with gunmetal metallic ink on 65# Cover French's Pop-Tone Lemon Drop.

Art School Cliches



This is absolutely true and hilarious. I especially love "Did you know? 98% of infographics are 100% pointless. See pie chart for details." :) You can download a pdf here.

Atreyu Nibbble

So in lieu of not having a Dribbble account I call these Nibbble's (Not Dribbble or just a cute variation since it is a nibble of what is to come). Atreyu is my newest typeface creation, it is still in the works but here is a preview. The typeface was used on the "Nothing to Lose, Everything to Win" shirt I illustrated but only in all caps. The finished Atreyu Grotesque will be a free font available hopefully by the end of July.

Atreyu is going to be a long experiment in typeface design. It began actually as a blackletter (and still exists as one), out of which the grotesque (sans-serif) was born. I plan on taking this typeface and creating a super family consisting of blackletter, grotesque, serif and slab-serif versions. In doing so it will be the neverending typeface, which is partly where the name came from (that and I listen to a lot of music while I work in my studio and usually make it bands that I feel fit what I'm working on and the band Atreyu just goes great with this, that and I love their music too. Enjoy!
