new work by: Jill C. Lee

I was excited to see these new notebooks by Jill C. Lee of Beau Ideal Editions … then these prints appeared.  I would like to choose just one. I am having a hard time.

Jessica Hische

Perhaps you noticed the lovely drop cap on my last post (or this one). This is the work of the talented Jessica Hische, whose work I stumbled upon here. (Though actually, after a little poking around, I realized I was already a fan: it turns out she is the creator of the Buttermilk font I’ve been admiring for a while.) I recommend heading here to see more of (or subscribe to) her amazing & amazingly generous drop cap project (you can also buy individual alphabet prints in her shop).

black + ivory

Inspiring me lately: ivory & black. Clockwise from top left: calligraphy letterpress save the date by bella figura, from probably one of my favourite flickr sets ever “an investigation by Production Manager Hans Schmoller into the origins and usage of Penguin devices”,  sculpture by Kate MacGarry, hand lettering by Erik at Friends of Type, vintage panda bear at Hindsvik.
