Memorial Day is this weekend so here’s some sweet sunbeam influenced type to kick of an awesome summer.
Don’t forget your sunblock! — Richard Perez
Wood Grief
Recently got a couple of woodblocks to make little cities for our kittens to topple over — Godzilla style! Thought it might be cool try to create some letterforms out the simple shapes, alternate angle after the jump…

Cosmic Dust
Inspired by listening to too much of Flying Lotus’ Cosmogramma & watching Time Bandits. Made up of a mono-weight type doodle, a few vector shapes & some scanned coffee stains. Delicious!
…you can see a version of the type before adding the texture layers, after the jump — Richard Perez
