Font Art

I have some tribute pages where I combine numerous works by theme: Music (updated 6/22), Liberty & Freedom, Movie Lines, Holidays (updated 6/22), and the newest section, Poetry where I have some of my own writing. Please be sure to visit them.

Below are a few of my more recent works. Click on the thumbnail for a larger image:

I came across this great quote from Beethoven and that inspired our latest addition. The image is a homegrown collage, including an actual manuscript written by the composer himself. The quote is set in Zendi with an em dash using Gothenburg Fractur. Mercator was used for Beethoven's name.

After seeing an absolutely beautify sky one morning, one of my favorite Cat Stevens' tunes came to mind. I didn't have time to grab my camera, but found this image online to provide a background. The lyricss are set in Flourish Special by Judith Sutcliffe, with flourishes from Emigre's Dalliance added to the title. The side border was created with Moonlight Designs' Dividers.

It's time for a Father's Day piece. I've always dearly loved my own "Daddy" so this is especially dedicated to him. This work uses a montage of various Googled images of dads and their daughters. The quote by H. Jackson Brown, Jr. is set in Philip Bouwsma's AlBouwsmaScript.

In honor of Memorial Day, I present this piece. Most people are familiar with the famous poem In Flanders Fields. This piece uses a reply to that ode to fallen soldiers called America's Answer. It's set in Mercator and Mercator Swash by Glyph Systems. The image is a montage of a photo of the cemetery at Flanders Field with a slightly transparent overlay of poppies. The main image was doctored to make room for the poem.
