Lovely day. I'm working on an unusual font project. I designed a font years ago that I like, but I find it's not legible enough to be useful. So I'm designing a new font based on that font. Debating whether to come up with a completely new name, or a new variation of the old name
Lovely day. Rough night, and I'm in the stusio a little bit late. I'm in the middle of producing final files for D'ORC #6. Listening to Coltrane in the studio.
Taking Elwood—my gold top, ‘07 Gibson Les Paul Classic with Fralin humbuckers—for a spin today with one of the best amps on the planet, the EVH 5150III. Enough gain to peel your face off. \m/ \m/
Lovely day and happy Friday. So far today, I have delivered proofs for American Caper #11, and lettered a Marvel cover for Skottie. Switching gears for a bit to work on a font. Listening to Ozzy Live at Budokan in the studio.
Lovely day. Been super busy this week. Several lettering projects coming due at once, plus two secret projects, including one that requires me to speed-design a new font before I can begin. So yeah. A lot going on right now.
Lovely day. Just turned in proofs of an issue of MINOR THREATS. Now I'm lettering a different MINOR THREATS series. Later: Working on a font for a secret project that probably won't be released until 2027. Listening to Spin Doctors in the studio.
New guitar pedal day! The new EVH/MXR Modern High Gain distortion pedal. It replicates the red channel on the EVH 5150 amp, w/ built-in noise gate! While I am the furthest thing from Eddie Van Halen, his company continues to put out supremely usable products for any guitarist.
