Typewriter Tin Art Prints

I have previously written about Janine Vangool‘s typewriter tin collection (here) and yesterday she posted to the Uppercase blog that Leanda of One Little Bird has been creating these wonderful digital illustrations based on her collection. You can buy the prints here.

Still obsessing over Janine’s collection…

Prints from Leanda's typewriter tin digital illustration collection.

A Love Letter For You

Again, I’m so late to the game but I love this public arts project in West Philadelphia. Artist Stephen Powers (a.k.a. ESPO) painted murals above the SEPTA line along Market Street from 63rd to 45th in a public arts project called “A Love Letter For You.” Each mural reads as a love story to West Philly from residents of the neighborhood.

The typography is so beautiful and I love how some are very site specific. (Like “I’ll Shape Up” on the side of a building that houses a barber shop.) See all 50 murals on the official site gallery. (via Pixels & Arrows)

Cardon Copy

Jordan posted today about her friend Cardon Webb whose exhibition, Cardon Copy, is at the Type Directors Club right now in NYC. I loved the typography so much… I also noticed that some of the posters seem to be from my neighborhood in Queens!

From his mission statement: “Cardon Copy, takes the vernacular of self-distributed fliers and tear-offs we have all seen in our neighborhoods. It involves hijacking these unconsidered fliers and redesigning them, over powering their message with a new visual language. I then replace the original with the redesign in its authentic environment.”

Lab Partners

Love the retro illustrations from Lab Partners in San Francisco. The limited-edition prints above are from their exhibition at the Outré Gallery called “Hunt and Gather.”

Check out their fab Etsy shop as well! (Gotta love letterpressed posters of San Francisco!)

Hunt and Gather Gocco 5 (phone), framed $85, unframed $55. Hunt and Gather Gocco 2 (perfume), framed $45, unframed $20. Both prints are signed and numbered limited edition multi-colour gocco prints with metallic ink in editions of 30.

This set of typographic illustration from Alberto Seveso is so beautiful. I’m also loving his Three Graces.
