A quick handlettering project I ended up digitizing…

I made a wallpaper for Chris Stregers’ To Resolve Project…
You can holler at it here.

While stuck inside hiding from the hurricane yesterday I threw together a quick typeface. Download the EPS.

Irene Typeface Process – Adobe Illustrator from John Kane Smith on Vimeo.

They’re here! 19″ x 25″ (2) color screen prints on 140lb French’s Pop Tone Sweet Tooth. Get yours in the shop.

Lettercult featured a couple of my pieces in their Best of 2010.  Theres a ton of good stuff up over there, I’m honored to be included – check it out.

I was happy to participate in Ambigram Magazine‘s latest Quick Draw Challenge. The gist of it is they assign a word to two ambigramists with a one week deadline. You dont know who your up against until the results are posted… We were assigned the word Metropolis. Head over there to see some sketches, a little bit about the process and my opponent’s design.

I recently revamped the Smoke Break illustration. This was a blast to work on (again) and screen printed great.

I did this T-Shirt artwork by hand… really fun to work on and I’m pretty psyched about the final product. I’d love to work on more stuff like this!

This was really fun to work on.

I was happy to learn LetterCult included my Fresh Melt Water ambigram in their Best of 2009 feature (bottom of the page). Stay tuned, you’ll definitely be seeing more custom type work from me this year.
