Don't know what to say, or how to thank you all. Cept, you all sure do know your stuff!

Stephen.

Aziz, deleted - is part of a series I'm working on which speaks of the destruction, deconstruction and reconstruction of the written word. It may appear stupidly simple - but it ain't.

This is a great thread, nice question stephen - I see some familiar names who have/do inspire me, and some new ones too.

Maybe someone with a flickr account can gather images from those sugguested and compile a flickr place for them?

Marian Bantjes

a little avant-weird, but Jan Svankmajer's films make rather extensive use of typography in fairly unprecedented ways..

Hiroshige, do you know a Gentleman/Lady named XXX from XXX?
He/She does Destruction, Deconstruction and Reconstruction, All with just XXX?
Guess he/she is XXX years Old but Wondering y XXX is so XXX?
XXX Thanx with XXX

Hiro! that is freakin' brilliant!

I don't know if you classify this as art, but it's brilliant stuff.

Hiroshige, just one question:
How do you write 30 in Roman System?
Equal Thanks with Flowers

What about M/M (Paris) work with fashion photographers?
I Love it.

The Alphabet

&

The AlphaMen

I love these letterpressed posters for the helvetica movie:

One of my favorites is the Italian futurist Fortunato DePero whose work you can see, at among other places, here.

Our ampersand poster could be considered an art project. » Contains video «

No apologies for the blatant self-promotion.

Last week I saw Marian Bantjes presentation at the TDC.

Her work is not only wonderfully imaginative and artistically superb, but it just makes you feel happier, like the old Beatles music. A rare treasure and pleasure.

I say this periodically: Bantjes is the messiah of PoMo.
So unlike the hooligans of the 90s.

My work is very typographic - I hand carve linoleum alphabets and print with them on fabric dishtowels, shirts and bolts of fabric. I have an installation hanging in the DeCordova Museum in Lincoln Massachusetts:

Very nice, Aziz. Are those yours?

If mine, I would have won at least one of these battles:

Please this is urgent!

Does anyone know if the Kufi Ayah posted on this sheet is copy written? I mean can I use it in one of my designs?

I would highly appreciate a quick answer!
