I have an entirely unhealthy obsession with typography. I love it. This would explain why my online shopping cart never contains clothing or jewelry, cosmetics or the like. It contains fonts. All kinds of fonts- scripts, serifs, blocks, calligraphy… Actually when I think about it having a font library is a lot like your wardrobe. You have to choose the right outfit for the occasion and a good selection is essential.
It’s nothing new for a designer to be obsessed with typography. It comes with the territory. But as an artist, I’m exploring ways that I can combine my love of typography with my physical work. To begin this exploration, I’ve started a series of illustrated quote posters. I wanted to choose quotes that aren’t your run-of-the-mill cliques – “Keep Calm and Carry On” type of stuff. I selected quotes from a few people that have captivated me, a sort of eclectic bunch.
Here are the first 7 posters from the series:
Quote from Walt Disney
Quote from Julia Child
Quote from Henry David Thoreau
Quote from William Wirt – but chosen because it’s the favorite quote of my best friend.
Quote from Hunter S. Thompson
Another quote from Hunter S. Thompson
1961 Song by The Shirelles
Only 3 of the 7 posters are left at the Gallery so I better get to it! I’ve got some good ideas brewing!
