Thanks Patrick! The "Zoo" part started with a font - pretty sure it was Dextor or something, but a Z and two Os are pretty simple shapes, so the font-scaffolding was taken down pretty early in the process.
Here's a slice of the new piece for the Zoo show, "The Fabulous Night Panther". The name's taken from a translation of an Algonquin word & was too awesome to pass up when I found it. I was planning on doing some elaborate work on this piece, but I'm having second thoughts - it's almost looking finished to me... what does anyone else think? Maybe embellish the "panther" a bit?

Absolutely gorgeous typography, especially in "ZOO." Is that all hand drawn, or part of a font family?
