Friends of TypeCon
Announcements & Digitized by Aaron Carambula
Come in a stranger and leave a friend! We are so pleased to announce that we will be at TypeCon 2011: Surge to conduct a workshop! We’re going to take everyone through the spontaneous process we go through to create a post for this very blog. We’ll be drawing, painting, scribbling, ripping, blotting, scanning, retouching, vectorizing, you name it. At the end we’ll post the workshop results!
July 7th, all day. Check the TypeCon site for details.
R.Kelly’s playbook
You are walking down the street and you see Erik walking towards you. He is smiling with his hands shifting around in his pockets. You would think — A. What a handsome pervert! B. Hey that was the super star typographer bad boy Erik Marinovich!?!? C. This dude should be my best friend and I am going to help him find whatever it is in his pocket… D. Smile and say, “I love your work?” E. All these answer will do! — GINO REYES

Savor
There’s no time for BS: Jessica Hische is a badass. She’s as prolific in lettering and web as any 6 people. Her presence in the design community brings a fresh voice to the old school while schooling the new kids. She brought a week of quality letters and hilarity when she was last on this site, and she’s bringing serious guns to this battle of the sexes.
TandA
This is not Liz Meyer‘s first time on Friends of Type. You probably remember the impressive run she and Gavin had as Script & Seal. She’s come back solo to mix it up with us and brought her T&A game. We’ve so far got 3 attempts to boob-ize the alphabet and I’m loving every one! Plus this is the most bootylicious ‘A’ I’ve ever seen!

Kitty
Meghan Eplett is a designer and illustrator whose work is consistently beautiful and filled with her spirit and personality. Her lettering sketches have had her on our radar for a while so we were excited to include her in our battle!
Mom, Can I Take Horseback Riding Lessons?
Up for the gals on day 2 of this battle of the sexes week is Nikelle Orellana. A nice girl when you first meet her. A sassy thing on the second and third encounters. A straight up crass individual when you become friends with her. She’s right up our alley. She enlightens us with some added background about her post….
Eating at the ‘Y’
The inspiring and inspired Dennis Payongayong has the ability to give new meaning to shapes and forms with the most subtle changes and attention to detail. One of the nicest guys on the planet and one of the best designers in the universe, here Dennis agrees with our favorite eatery. Enjoy.

Fake vs Real
Set by Gino Reyes
Five days in a week, five lady rivals, four friends of type. Who do we call when we’re outnumbered in a battle of the perves? Gino Reyes, that’s who. A superb designer with merit from branding to advertising and back again, the man can also wield a bass guitar and makes love on the dance floor. Women want him and men want to be him. We love you, Gino.
