Drawing/Covers

Imaginary

Exercises of illustrated letters within a vertical rectangle. These were fun to do but did not lead to immediate employment in publishing. Probably for the better. The spiky contrast letterforms found their way to LTR Principia. So I suppose that counts for something.

A redrawn version of a real book by John Betjeman..

Bean Soup in some sort of confused Albertus. The flat top three. The triangular joint in the lowercase a.

Fawns and workhorses. Explorations of letterforms and themes that eventually found a place in LTR Principia

Mostly about the containers with the words in them.

It is sad when no one joins your call.

Keep adding stuff. Make it Extra Special. A spectacular level of detai.

That book.

Narrow Clarendons are tricky. But yeah, put that thing back where it came from.

A cover for a favorite story by Max Dendermonde.

A guide to miniature bookshops and libraries? That will be a bestseller.

So, why present work online when it will all just be consumed by machines that turn it into expensive tokens? You’re here, reading this. So there is some hope. The lettering in these drawings are also where the new ideas come from. So I think it would be fun to see them.
