Today is my first day of my new temp gig at FOT… and I’m quite happy to be here. So happy in fact I had my tailor monogram my shirts for the occasion. A Friend Of Type should never pass up the opportunity to look good. Cheers. – CDR

We are thrilled to have the always inspiring Christopher David Ryan (aka CDRyan) as our 21st guest post’r. Being one of the most prolific individuals around, in 2008 he treated the internet with Daily Postings, a 365 day journey for the eyes and mind. Always keeping busy, today CDR fills the void between space and The Stone Roses with the most witty and whimsical visual musings found in this part of the galaxy.
See some of CDR’s work here, follow him on twitter, view his flickr, like him on facebook.
I recently came across a random selection of illustrations and lettering from high school and thought it’d be amusing to share.
Deep cuts entry number 1: My school had a contest in which students could submit an idea for the freshman homecoming invite. The theme of the dance was ‘Under the Big Top’. I was apart of the .009% of people who had never heard of the expression. The post you see above is what I submitted. A very, very literal interpretation of ‘Under the Big Top’ and as expected it did not make the cut.

Got To Have It

For day two of my stint at FOT I’ve decided to bring in one of my Northern Soul comps so Dennis and I can nerd out on it. We’d be much more impressed, I’m sure, if I had the original 45′s. - CDR
