Lettering fans, this one’s for you..

Two guys – Austin Richards (an Art Director in Dublin) and Des Creedon (a Copywriter in Galway) – have done a series of movie posters – but the movies are missing one letter. They’ve called them ‘Removies’ and they are both great looking, and funny.

They are for sale as prints and you can see the whole collection here.

Lovely stuff…

I’ve seen a top secret list of names, a list containing a few of the most interesting and creative people this island has to offer, a list of people taking part in a fund raising effort by the good folk at Damn Fine Print studio. Damn Fine want to create an inclusive, quality screen printing workshop & studio. They asked the creatives they admire most to submit a two colour poster inspired by “Damn Fine Dublin” and they will screen print them. 30 posters, €30 a pop, edition of 30. Exhibition on 6th December in BLOCK T Smithfield. They asked them, and they said yes, now they’re asking you. your going to want to be on this list. further details here – DAMN FINE DUBLIN EXHIBITION

Fuschia MacAree has been releasing a barrage of rebloggable illustrations in the past few months, but my current obsession is her Untranslatable Alphabet – 26 letters representing words that can’t be translated from one language to another. Really great concept and even better execution, as usual.

The alphabet is available as a set on A2 posters on her online shop, printed on 170gsm matte paper.
