Drawing as part of a series of typographic illustrations depicting the names of various comic series. Done as part of the website design for a collector of original comic artwork. Final composition in the lettering section and also coming soon on the live website.

EPC Hungary

Development sketches for the design of custom serif lettering for the EPC Hungary logo (see various logos for final piece). The goal was a relatively heavy serif with an overall narrower width than most classic serif typefaces.

Noisy

April 2008

A3 illustration used as a double page spread in the Painting with Words book design. Quotation is by Susan Sontag and reads, "The art of our time is noisy with appeals for silence." In contrast, the 'silence' drawing on the following page was very small and on an entirely white background.
