How exciting, issue 5 of Peppermint is out! I may have an early copy though (thanks Kelley), I’m not sure when it comes out at the newsagent. You can see the adorable Renee-Anne on the cover in a blouse I am seriously coveting right now. Oh yeh, and my letters [...]]]>

I was invited to submit some of my older work to Gestalten publication Hair’em Scare’em, and today I got my contributer copy. The book is full of fantastic illustrative and photographic work from a huge variety of artists – I was really impressed with it, and myself for being published alongside such great names!

That’s my stuff on page 74!

Tabitha actually sent me my issue of Forth Thread the other week, but I hadn’t gotten around to blogging about it. You’ll have to excuse its rumpled demeanor, Australia Post must have handled this with their elbows!!

There’s the Bearded Lady of Brussels!

The zine has heaps of young Australian talent – you can buy a copy of the first edition “This Ain’t Digital” here.

Kelley from Peppermint Magazine sent out my contributer copy of issue 4 and this lovely diary!

2010 is going to kick arse! Am I right?

This month the lovely Lady Melbourne is being lovely on the cover of Peppermint magazine; my lettering is quite chuffed to hover at her shoulder!

definatalie.com has been redesigned and it only took months and months to get it up! Apparently there’s a problem with IE6 that Nick is going to look at tonight, but I heartily suggest you download Firefox or the latest IE anyway.

Peppermint magazine issue 2 is landing soon! The cover features a beautiful illustration of Summer Rayne Oakes by the fabulous Ms Bec Winnel. I did the curly lettering on the front, but it pales into insignificance in comparison with Bec’s drawing! :P

I feel bad that I haven’t blogged for a while, it’s just we were getting all the wrinkles out of the new layout and Nick had told me that things might be lost in the transition (I moved hosts due to issues with my old host, thank Rod for that!) but none of the comments seem to have been misplaced! Yay! I have lots of things to tell you, stay tuned!

If you’re interested in design and typography, check these out… Some of the lettering even looks hand crafted! It’s also [...]]]> This is still beautiful.
I’d love to be a part of a design and illustration magazine with really old influences like the examples in this post.

If you’re interested in design and typography, check these out… Some of the lettering even looks hand crafted! It’s also interesting to note that there are typefaces used in these that are still used today. I’m always amazed to see very old typefaces in new contexts. Cooper Black is a very strong example of this, however ugly I may think it is. (Actually if you live anywhere near Moorooka in Brisbane, there’s a tyre shop called “Cooper’s Tyres” and the logotype is COOPER BLACK! A designer with a sense of humour obviously!)
