    I quick piece of lettering that I did to promote a pair of upcoming workshops I'm conducting this June in California and New York City. I roughed out the framework with a regular ol' No.2 pencil, then tightened it up. Next time I'll use a pigmented or grease pencil to avoid the hotspots.

    You can find more info on the workshops here:

    BTW, the notepad is part of some new stationery that House Industries will be rolling out in the near future.

    Disgustingly amazing. I'm disgusted and amazed at the same time (it's a good thing).

    Wonderfully fluid. Now, will there be a notepad with graphics paper?? I'd do anything for a travel size notepad with graphics paper,

    Thanks for the supportive replies everyone.

    @ Sergey: The "House" logo is actually printed in silver metallic ink. The sheen of the graphite just happens to serendipitously compliment it.

    @ Dave: We will have some lined and gridded notepads, with small notebooks hopefully following.

    @ Tiffany: No pressure, right. ;)

    I was talking to BK about this today. It would be killer if you printed it in silver & ever-so-slightly debossed in areas where the linework is more built up. I reckon it would sell!

    Damn... you are so good! I thought about hitting up that California Workshop... I didn't know you were going to be up at Cooper too, I might have to take a trip home to the NE.

    Thanks James. The content of the workshops is different, but you can rest assured that each will include loads of time spent making letters. :)

    Kristopher, I believe the politically correct term for 'hobo' is 'migratory laborer'. Haha.

    I’m sure Typecamp & Cooper will love to sponsor a spot of printing. The inside doesn't have to be fancy, I see lots of foundries using newsprint for the insides ;-)
