this piece done by eduardo recife, a brazilian designer, i found while reading an article on the visual storytellers of brazil in may's how magazine (see magazine links). an interesting thought when they have the high illiteracy rates as they apparently have there; visual storytelling plays a powerful role. having had a bit of a look around i found some great links to some beautiful graffiti coming out of sao paulo and rio. there is so much to see and talk about one could get so lost again. but that is not my intention here (another day), instead i would like to direct you to eduardo's work, his website and some wonderful free fonts you can download. thank you eduardo - i can hardly wait to try out my new fonts!

JAN! I LOVE THIS!
first of all, I really love the collage-like feel of this design piece (hope to post some of my pieces on hula70 one of these days)...
and secondly, I am a bit of a typography freak and these FONTS... seriously, they are so dope. I could barely contain my excitement as I clicked on each one... out of all the fun and fantastic links you have posted here in the wonderful land of poppy (and there has been such an abundance!), this has to be my absolute favorite. I have only had the time to look at the fonts, can't WAIT to really go through and check out his work.
I cannot thank you enough for this! as always, you rock.
did you see the photoshop brushes????? OMG! i am soooo happy! so glad you like this too - you rock!
andrea - also looking forward to seeing your collages!
fell asleep last night before I could explore his site! haven't seen the photoshop brushes yet... can't WAIT! and seriously, can't wait to download the fonts and play around with them...
I think you may be able to appreciate this: last night, we went out for ice cream and were driving around afterwards (trying to get the kids to fall asleep, HA) and ward was pouring his heart out to me about stuff going on with his best friend and I looked at him and said, "I'm sorry. I can't stop thinking about those fonts."
(at least we could laugh about it)...
as for the collage work, not sure when I'll post them, but thanks for the encouragement!
i can relate and find myself doing the same thing. are you collaging in your head?
yes, I am. constantly.
