The nerve! Fonts are just free little vector graphics libraries to these people. Don't they know there are like a million assembly line artists on iStockPhoto eager to sell them colorful concentric circles which drip and also have vines and arrows sprouting from them???

I like the hand-drawn typography better than the machine/photoshop, with the exception of the very striking Smashing Pumpkins poster and the Tom Waits picture. It generally has a more unpolished feel that I'm surprised I like so well. This one was my favorite, if only for the nostalgia value.

Heh. I did that to offset things, as some people have complained in the past about these single-letter links and how annoying it is to click on them. Damned if you do, damned if you don't I guess.

Oh, hah! I was not, in fact, making a semi-subtl criticism of your post formatting. I meant to imply that text only reaches its full potential when typeset in actual applications such as books and the like.
I actually like how the letters look spaced out, for what it's worth. They look distinctive, but still legibile, and serve the purpose you intend of them intuitively.

Ah, good point - I agree FWIW. Nice though these images are, most of them are really just stunts. Well-executed stunts some of them, but still stunts.
