I love all kinds of lettering, from super elegant scripts to blocky letters. I’m slowly trying to learn new ways of creating letters so I can try out different styles. After watching a recent tutorial by the ultra-talented Lauren Hom on GoodType‘s Instagram, I got totally obsessed with her 3D style.
Here are just a few of the pieces I’ve made as I practiced.
Variety published a great little article about Mel Brooks today…
Mel Brooks: The king of comedy – Entertainment News, Profile in Excellence: Mel Brooks, Media
Thanks to “The Producers,” “Blazing Saddles,” “Young Frankenstein,” “High Anxiety” and a slew of other movie, stage, TV and album hits, Mel Brooks’ prominent place in the pantheon of comedy stars is assured. … http://bit.ly/cq7dNO

Boulder’s Daily Camera ran the greatest news story in months today!
It’s about a guy who assaulted a woman, then got naked, fled the scene and claimed he had no memory of the event.

When several drivers pulled over to help, police said, Disselhorst stripped his clothes and fled the scene.
I just like that this dude’s excuse is that he doesn’t remember. Does he think no one has ever tried that lie before? I also love that there is probably a police report somewhere that contains the phrase “a hippie grabbed my chest!”
