Font Art

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

Added 02/12/10: It's early, but with my newest granddaughter's birth just a couple of weeks away, I've been thinking about Mother's Day and Father's Day. Ergo, a few new FontPlays suitable for those days.

The photo came from ClipArt.com. I couldn't find one of ten kids! The main portion of the anonymous quote is set in Adobe's Birch Std while the word "Mother" is set in Chopin Script by Dieter Steffmann.

The photo also came from ClipArt.com (it's a great resource!). The child's sad face and mother's embrace were perfect. I applied some artistic filters to give some texture. The Yiddish proverb is set in Adobe's Florens LP with a few letters in the alternate face.

 
The photo came from ClipArt.com. I isolated the core portion, applying a motion blur to the rest. The quote is set in Hallmark's StarBabe Bold.

Men and their remotes! Another photo from ClipArt.com — I just flipped it to make more room for the quote, set in Velvet Script by Typadelic.

Added 01/28/10: Valentine's Day is quickly approaching, so I whipped up a couple of FontPlays specifically for the holiday, plus one just for lovers in general.

The image comes from stock.exchng, but with some color manipuation to better fit the holiday. The words are set in Alys by Red Rooster Typefounders.

The image is from clipart.com and was just rotated for a landscape orientation. The quote is set in Bitstream's Liberty, while the "Be My Valentine" is in Image Club Graphics' Carpenter.

The image is a composite of two from stock.exchng, with some heavy manipulation in Photoshop. The quote is set in The Font Bureau's Sloop.
