Hand Lettered Campaign Posters

I love the variety and homespun fervor that gushes into campaign posters. […]
A Tribute to Ray Barber
I went to Pratt Institute in the early 70’s. I have always been interested in communicating, and so I was drawn to study Advertising Design with the intention that I could make films. In the basic program, I was required to study Typography I & II. Those classes were taught by a tall, willowy, quiet […]
An Extreme Sport

Happy New Year, 2015!!! Time to write those “thank you notes”. But before I review the tips, I want to say a few words about the gesture of receiving. How comfortable are you in getting a compliment? Do you feel awkward when someone gives you a present? What if the gift is something you don’t like, […]

December 24, 2014… Finally, all the cards, packages, and gifts have been delivered for the holiday tomorrow. It was a busy season. I was happy to see so many letters with handwritten addresses on them. Yep, the cards and letters are my favorite part. Personally, I am still writing cards. Since I like to […]
