Mikeymike said on Mar. 31 '11

sweet line work, Simon. And that's coming from a beer lover. HA!. I like wine too, my wife has made sure of that. (:

Simon™ said on Mar. 31 '11

He he! I prefer beer too, but please don't tell my clients that! ;-)

Mikeymike said on Mar. 31 '11

^cheers. but you owe me a beer sometime. (:

Simon™ said on Mar. 31 '11

Mike, where are you based? I fear that a pub halfway between us may be in the ocean (or is that the drink?) ;-)

Mikeymike said on Mar. 31 '11

Idaho, USA. that's okay, I'll just sip one down, on me and pretend. (:

Simon™ said on Apr. 01 '11

^^^^^^^^ Idaho! Damn Mike, that really kills the plans. You'll have to chug one back in my honour after all. I love beer so much I tried to find a way, but no luck. Check out: http://simonfrouws.com/images/roadtrip.jpg

brandsanity said on Apr. 01 '11

Love this, awesomely balanced curls!

!mude said on Apr. 01 '11

Wow, that's cool. Wish I could do that :) Really beautiful.

Simon™ said on Apr. 01 '11

Thanks people. Was a real biatch to get right, as I've only ever attempted to do my own lettering a handful of times before, so am super-slow (I usually hire in a proper calligrapher for important jobs). I did a few rounds back-and-forth between my 2B pencil and Mac. There are one or two little parts I'd like to tweak, but the client's chosen one of my other options. The practice was worth it anyway. Lots of fun, and nice to stretch myself to try convey a more delicate feel, outside of my usual 'chiseled' style.

libran005 said on Apr. 02 '11

wow... this is mind-blowing...
Would have taken me ages, getting these curves right...

sean heisler said on Apr. 02 '11

^ Ha ha, me too. Great work indeed.

Simon™ said on Apr. 02 '11

Thanks Bharat & Sean! :-)

sashakagor said on May. 07 '11

Simon, it's great to know that you started off this masterpiece with good 'ol graphite and compressed tree pulp. Really amazing work, man. You and a handful of other Davincis around here are gonna force me to quit this whole design thing and go work at Starbucks.

Simon™ said on Aug. 19 '11

Thanks Jon. Definitely don't deserve the da Vinci comparison. Just pushing pencils & pixels about, till they look OK. Sometimes I wish I had less responsibility - Starbucks sounds like the perfect place for me.
