I finally received my copy of Celebrate 65, commemorating the Type Directors Club anniversary. Each international artist invited to participate was requested to design a number, between one and 65. By the luck of the draw, I got picked to kick things off.
Deciding to create a mash-up of sorts, I combined a number of engraving, vernacular signage and polychromatic typographic sources. Once I find the time, I'll post a few process pics and more info about its development.
In the meantime, read more about the project on TDC's site:

Better yet, support the organization by purchasing a copy of the book:

Wow, that's great! Kick-ass letters and I love the soft colors.

Thanks Ty. Originally I was only going to draw the numeral one, but soon decided to adapt some engraved script lettering and drop it over top.

Glad you like it, Joachim. However, I can't take credit for the color palette. Being color blind, I needed lots of help from my colleague and friend Bondé Prang: http://bondeprang.com/

And, who knew you were colorblind, too? I wonder how common this is among type designers.

Glad you dig it, Jonathan. I read somewhere that nearly one in ten men is color blind. It also can be hereditary; my father and three brothers all suffer from it. Ed Benguiat tells a hilarious story of how he tried to get around the tests in order to be a military pilot.
