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!

Digitized & Drawn by The Friends
It is our honor to introduce, Richard Perez as the fifth guest post’r to Friends of Type. He is the man at the helm of Skinny Ships. In case you’ve been stranded on a deserted island, his work has navigated through a heap of design blogs and publications. The work is always fresh, puts a smile on your face and leaves you wishing for an ounce of his skills. Keep an eye on Mr. Perez, we have a feeling he’s got a ton more up his sleeve. In the meantime, sit back and let him take us on a typographic cruise… make sure to wear sun screen these posts come heavy with UV beams.

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…
