Joanna and I designed 2 ampersands to be used in the SOTA collaborative typeface “Coming Together”, which was created exclusively for Font Aid IV to benefit the victims of the recent earthquake in Haiti. This special font contains 486 ampersands contributed by almost 400 different type designers from 37 countries around the globe. We were super excited to have been apart of this project, as it is a great way for us to use our design skills to help others in need.

The font will be sold for $20US and it is now available through font distributors Veer and Ascender Fonts. It will be available on FontShop and on MyFonts later in the week. All proceeds from the sale of the “Coming Together” font will go to Doctors Without Borders, to help with their relief efforts in Haiti.

I worked with the good folks over at Sodophoto on their new logo and brand identity system. I kept it simple by just using metallic silver ink on white uncoated paper with an embossed SP. Jim Mannino is a lighting magician and I highly recommend him for any studio photography work.

Kurt over at DigBMX interviewed me about working as an Art Director for Redline Bicycles. You can read the whole interview here. Thanks Dig! I also did a set of Vector Freebie illustrations and type for the article. Commence downloading now….

Joanna’s Mom, Beverly Abbott, was an Art Director and Fashion Illustrator from 1953-1963. I am completely inspired by her work and wanted to share her amazing talent to the world. Below are three samples of her work. I’ve also set up a Flickr set that features more of her fashion illustration portfolio during that time and her work history. May her artwork inspire you as well.

Here’s a couple scans of 2 drawings I did recently. I’m only using 1 brown and 1 black .5 Micron pens for my current pocket sketchbook.

Here’s a few more simple black and white posters I did for the all ages music venue called the Slab down in Georgetown.

Georgetown has a new all ages music venue called the Slab that is a part of the Seattle Drum School on South Michigan Street. I did the b/w opening night poster featuring the two headed fish of the Duwamish river. The Lonely Forest is playing along with New Faces so make sure you check it out on June 27th. I will also have some new art up on the walls as well.

I’ve started a new area on this site called “Vintage Vectors“. My idea is to recreate some classic designs in vector format for the world to enjoy and use. I was inspired by a 1982 Style Auto jacket I purchased at the Goodwill store last year. The jacket was a little big but I didn’t care. The patches and tags were what sold me on it.

So from that jacket comes Vintage Vectors – bringing analog design into the digital age. If you download this please comment and let me know what you think!

Joanna doodled this nice drawing on a paper towel in the kitchen yesterday. I like the intertwining buildings and vines around the woman’s face.
