Lightning Bolt in europe called for entries to design some stuff for them – I gave it a go on Sunday.

Did a couple of typography work ups for the cover and headline story page of the next Curl Magazine – think they’re going to go with the top one, but we’ll just have to wait’n'see – my preference would be for the bottom, but perhaps it looses a bit of readability especially on the cover…

So I started doing a type treatment but then got completely in the wrong direction and created this horror-esc type – got a bit excited by it, really want to get it to a full font…. soon hopefully.

Stoo over at Velvet Espresso asked me to change the mural I did for his cafe in Whangamata (Equation espresso) into a teeshirt and branded Velvet – heres a couple of mocksups for him.

Well its been a long time between drinks – have been flat tack on a huge project that I’ll put up soon but for now heres something I’ve been pottering on for a bit – its a take-away cup design for my friend stoo over at velvet espresso. I’m feeling it, heres hoping he does.

So based on the piece of typography I did for Curl Magazine wallpaper of Laura Enever I’ve fleshed out the font to a full uppercase set. Might offer it up soon when I’m more happy with it.

So named because it was a crazy project for me to even think about doing and then I found myself doing it… Vectoring – with the intent of converting it to a font – a crazy old alphabet I found …. got to N, haven’t touched it in a while, finish it by years end… who knows!
Need some madness to get back into it much like:
