Obsessed...

with letter-forms, typefaces, lettering... well the entire universe of typography, my work is very type focused. The majority of my drawings take place during moments of conceptual thinking or brainstorming for clients projects. This tends to leave my personal work in a state of static, never evolving and always pushed off to the side. As of recent I've been re-inspired and feeling the creative juices flowing through my insides. With this change in my body and mind, I have several projects lined up and am very excited to progress and share. Here we have a doodle that developed from the humanistic attributes of the letter "V". The lettering for the V is a unique typeface I recently developed and will be using more frequently. The Heavy-Script paired with the letter is based off 1930s Showcards. 

Winter's coming.

I wasn't sure how this was going to turn out. That's okay though, I don't like a lot of things and my own work is on the list often enough. That being said, even when I feel like something is going south I try to stick with it just in case the next line or brush stroke results in a improvement of some kind, at least improvement enough to keep me motivated enough to see it through. Maybe it's because I was thinking of the long cold Chicago winter ahead and all the salty slush that will soak my feet and leave white powdery continents on the toes of my shoe's or all the wet heavy snow I will be shoveling into piles or... whatever, who knows, either way here it is and I'm kinda happy with it just not sure in what sense. At least I have a warm winter coat which makes all the difference in the world.

The two above are pre build up and before I added the buildings and junk, which I almost like better, but I really felt like I needed some atmosphere in there.

On my way to where the air is sweet.

Shoot, had some difficulty deciding do I draw Cookie-Monster, the first addict I came to know or the Grouch, the one that showed me home is whatever you define it to be. Fuck addicts, Grouch took it.
