A collection of creative work in print, digital, typography, identity, advertising, packaging, illustration, graffiti, painting, fashion, photography, trends, & more.
Currently based in Philadelphia, Mikey Burton is a self-proclaimed “hard-working creative person from the Midwest with a passion for design. There is letterpress ink on my blue collar and I wear my Ohio-shaped heart on my sleeve.” He also started a company with two friends called Little Jacket which has worked for such clients as The Sundance Channel, Wilco, Spoon (the band), MTV2, and the Cleveland RTA. Very impressive work from this dude, which I’m sure you’ve seen around quite a bit lately, and deservedly so – but I had to post him here as well.

This blog details the daily trials and tribulations of creating a series of wood type fonts for letterpress use. The project is the brainchild of artist, poet, letterpresser, and bookmaker Chris Fritton, and it is based in Buffalo, NY. (via Mikey Burton)

Woodtyper is an online journal focusing on wood type and related topics, such as large-scale lettering, decorative typefounding, letterpress printing, sign painting, penmanship, poster printing, engraving, etc. It is edited by Nick Sherman, seen below in a self-portrait with one of the largest woodtype specimens I think I’ve ever seen. Also, check out this Flickr set from his 1 month residency at Hamilton Wood Type & Printing Museum.
