Did You Already Show Us This?

Man, after all the books you showed us in your slideshows last quarter, its hard for me to differentiate between what I've seen and what I haven't. C'est la vie.

I <3 Frost #7

clever

I <3 Frost #6

Sometimes type doesn't even look like type. I love it!

I <3 Frost #5

I love the messy precision of this type.

I <3 Frost #4

I <3 Frost #3

Poor trees...

I <3 Frost #2

I <3 Frost #1

Be sure to check out the type on the sign the guy is holding; so inventive!

What a coincidence!

That's what my money does too! (Except that it doesn't make little yellow weed monies grow in my front yard. (But then, that assumes I had the kind of money to have a place with a yard.))

Ghostly Kineticism

The crude handwritten type and elaborate embellishments absolutely MAKE this album cover. Such mystery and intrigue!

It came from the shadows?

I don't think I've ever seen type so menacing. (I'd hide all the kitchen knives if I were you)

I know this one is old

but that doesn't mean I can't still love it.

Oh, George Bush impression - I'll miss you most of all...

By and By

Seriously? That's our state motto? Maybe I should go back to Idaho - "It is Perpetual" has a nicer ring to it :)

My Eyes! My Eyes!

Check out this crazy color vibration! I'm not exactly sure how it happens, scientifically, but I'll tell you this: it was much easier to read smaller/further away.

Supersonic!

Anyone ever heard of Cinema4d? Apparently, joining forces with Photoshop, it can do this. Pretty sweet, eh? (It's like a cosmic dance party from the future in a type treatment. I'm putting on my fake eyelashes and waterwings....now)

Salt und Pepper = More Fun in a German Accent (try it!)

Love the whimsical 1950s feel! I almost feel like it belongs in a vintage children's storybook; the hand-drawn type has such a kinetic feeling to it.

No Really...

Glad it's the letters and not me... (Um...I kind of love this! Such an uncommon sentiment treated literally is surprisingly refreshing and entertaining)

Speaking of Alphabets

I thought this an amusingly appropriate first photo for a blog with allusions to alphabets -AND- seating in the title. Bam! Type on a Couch presents for your approval: the chair alphabet! Perfect!
