I've always been interested in typography so I started a moleskin where I would record any type that interested me as well as any experimentation I wanted to do.
Many examples from the page above are done by Joe Contino ( joecontino.com ) his videos and work just go to show that it's hard work and determination that make the man.
Many of the quick sketches above are from 'Hand Job: a catalogue of type.' An amazing collection of hand drawn type.
The page above it all from Tyrsa's portfolio ( http://www.tyrsa.fr ) I enjoyed attempting to replicate his work. The intelligence and skill used to create some of his work was inspiring.
