Just a friendly reminder to go check out the Alphabattle being put on by the good folks over at Lettercult. While Alphabattle isn’t actually a “battle” or competition, it does give those interested in letter form and type design the opportunity to show off their skills. Submissions range from actual designed type to illustrative interpretations. The current Alphabattle is half way through the alphabet and so far the work submitted has been outstanding.
If you want to start submitting, you have a little over a week before the N deadline hits. For more information you can take a peek at the details here.
M just wrapped up, and we’ve included a few of our favorite submission after the jump. The illustration above was done by Rory Phillips.
Internet friend and world class illustrator Chris Piascik recently collaborated with Milltag to create this rad type driven cycling jersey! I’m personally excited that Chris had this opportunity because he’s such a passionate cyclist. Bike culture is one of his main sources of inspiration found throughout his body of work. See more of Chris’ bike pieces after the jump.
Katie Daisy‘s work has been blasted across the web recently, but I thought you should take another peek at her folky hand-lettering.
Kate Prior is inspired by sci-fi and her home taped ren & stimpy VHS. Kate has a great sense of humor…At age 3 she was barred from the creche at a popular british seaside holiday resort , but has since found peace through the use of colour, line & typography. See some nice examples of her hand lettering after the jump!
