maxistentialist:

I want your handwriting.

Have you ever considered how strange it is that handwriting fonts have come to convey a kind of folksy authenticity in the design lexicon of our age? It’s disingenuous. Handwriting fonts - especially the ones you see everywhere (Comic Sans, Papyrus, Lucida Handwriting) - are mechanically reproduced and manipulated into a kind of cloying, fake, plastic perfection.

Penmanship is mostly a lost art - it is (rightfully) taught less and less in school, and the opportunities for people to see your handwriting are few and far between. As a result, modern handwriting looks really cool. What’s authentic and charming and inviting about real handwriting are the little imperfections that prove it came from a real person.

SO - I have decided to become a collector of handwriting.

Here’s how it works:

You reblog this or email/Facebook me

I’ll arrange for you to pick up a template

You’ll fill it out

I will create a TrueType font from your handwriting and send it to you

As I collect handwriting, I will periodically post things rendered in the handwriting of the donor - things they have taught me, important aspects of our relationship, jokes they have told me… we’ll see.

Please donate today.

I wasn’t going to be a buzzkill about this, but what is different about this and sites like yourfonts.com? Also, I didn’t want to have to reblog this, but since there’s no email on his tumblr, I guess that means I have to do it like this.

Oh well. Bubble popped. Publicly. Meh.

somehowsomeway:

Since I hope to find my way into illustration for kids work one day, I thought I should start doing some concepts just to show some skills/looks that are solely mine.

This might be for a story of a little girl hiding a dragon in her tree house.

Painted in Photoshop

PS: I just recently redesigned my site, go check that out if you haven’t in a while.

I adore your talent.
