A quick tribute to my favorite seaside town, utilizing the same 70’s ‘NJ’ monogram I posted a while back, alongside some cooperesque juicy lettering (swooper black?) . . . #handlettering #penandink #newjersey #asburypark #jerseyshore #type #typography #seventies #seventieslettering #thicctype (at Asbury Park, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1MdA7Wp_AU/?igshid=1twyw97jkjd7x

The duck billed platypus is so strange looking that when the man who discovered it sent a taxidermied specimen back to the royal society in London, he was accused of sticking a bunch of different animals together to claim a new discovery. . One of only 2 species of extant egg laying mammals. . In the order Monotremata, so named because of the single opening which serves as urinary, defecatory and reproductive passage. . They lack nipples, so milk is excreted in patches on the mother's skin, which the babies must lick. . The males have a venomous spur on their hind legs, which is capable of incapacitating a fully grown adult human. . The pain of platypus venom can last anywhere from a few days up to a few months. Keith Payne, a former member of the Australian army, was hit with a Platypus spur on his hand, and described the pain as "worse than shrapnel". He still reported problems such as pain and stiffness with that hand 15 years later. . When threatened, they emit a noise very similar to a growl . They don't have teeth, instead relying on hard keratin pads for eating . They can detect prey by sensing electric fields, and they are drawn to minute electrical impulses such as those given off by muscles moving. . When on land, they walk on their knuckles to avoid damaging their front webbed feet . The females have 2 ovaries, but only the left one is functional . They are thought to have evolved beyond the use of an acid-filled stomach, likely because of their simple, insectivore diet. . . . . . . #platypusfacts #platypus #lettering #thicctype #micron #penandink #ornament #scriptlettering #graphicdesign #ornament #penandink #calligraphy #handlettering #typography #type #goodtype #tyxca #typetopia #designspiration @designspiration https://www.instagram.com/p/BnJZdyrA52R/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=dn9boottl5nt

Here’s a summery faux logo (a fauxgo?) for a sno-ball stand named after my good boi Huxley. I’ll get a XL coconut with condensed milk, how ‘bout you? . . . . . #shavedice #snoballs #huxley #lettering #sixtieslettering #Artnouveau #artdeco #thicctype #logo #graphicdesign #calligraphy #handlettering #typography #type #typetopia #goodtype #tyxca (at New Orleans, Louisiana)

Playing with some funky script as fan art for the even funkier @lordecho77. Didn’t quite come out as I hoped but I will give it another attempt if I ever have some spare time again in my lifetime. . . . . #thicctype #lordecho #cursive #lettering #calligraphy #typography #type #graphicdesign #goodtype

I’ve been loving unusually weighted and shaped scripts for a while now. Here’s a few ideas that I worked out into three west-coast states. I like that they could be from either the 1920’s or the 1970’s. Which is your favorite?

Juicy script for y’all! 🍑🍑🍑 I missed 18 days of Inktober because I’ve been busy with other stuff. Ah well, next year. I’ve got some exciting stuff going on, such as graphic design client work, getting licensed as a real estate agent, and a labor intensive Halloween costume. I’ll keep you posted, whether or not you give a heck. . . . . #juicy #thicctype #inktober2017 #script #victorian # #flourishing #artnouveau #lettering #calligraphy #handlettering #design #type #goodtype #calligraphymasters #typography #typegang #handdrawntype #TYxCA #thedailytype #typism @handmadefont @thedailytype @goodtype @illustrationartists @greattype @calligraphymasters (at New Orleans, Louisiana)
