Studio

Jeff Canham formerly art directed Surfer Magazine, and now he’s a sign painter and artist in SF. Hand crafted, traditional, typographic goodness. Found via lettercult on twitter.

Speaking of Twitter, Woodward Design now has a page. Now you can follow some little bits of news and projects from our studio. I’m sure Isis will make an appearance from time to time.

Nothing like keeping up with the social networking times about six months behind schedule…

Fantastic type designer and illustrator Sebastian Lester has some stunning typographic poster prints that are worth more than a second look. Prints are limited edition so get them while they’re hot!

This was one of the very inspiring videos I watched at the 99% Conference.

From the Cool Hunting website:

Grafica Fidalga, a printing press in São Paulo, Brazil, makes posters on a 1929 German letterpress using hand-carved wooden letters. In this video, we visit the trio of friends who make up Grafica Fidalga to watch them make a poster we commissioned for our 99% conference.
