TYPERACTIVE has reached £24,000 half way through the funding period, which is both unexpected and gratifying. I didn't think they'd be many people out there who'd want a big fat type catalogue, but here we are – thank you! #fonts #logo #design #type www.kickstarter.com/projects/ria...

Kudos to @rianhughes.bsky.social and @koreropress.bsky.social for getting their 'Arthur Ferrier’s Pin-up Parade' box set into my hands a month ahead of what the Kickstarter campaign had promised. Looks great! www.koreropress.com/arthur-ferri...

For nearly forty years, Arthur Ferrier defined the golden age of British pin-up art through his masterful ink work and elegant portrayal of the fashionable female form. His distinctive style graced comic strips, cartoons, and advertising campaigns, making him one of the most celebrated illustrators of his era.

This deluxe three-volume set features hundreds of cartoons, alongside rare original artwork, vintage magazine covers, news clippings, and historical posters. With an introduction by renowned author and illustrator Rian Hughes, plus Ferrier's own articles on illustration techniques – invaluable resources for artists working today.
The Collection

Volume 1: Showgirl Sirens (1940-1949)
Volume 2: Burlesque Bombshells (1949-1954)
Volume 3: Cabaret Cuties (1954-1968)

As an aside, Filmotype fonts live on today thanks to modern digitisations and expansions of their catalog. Mansfield was polished up by one of my favourite type designers, Rian Hughes, in 2012.

Not free but quite affordable, they are some of the nicest vintage fonts IMO.

Celebrate Mermay with the maids of BLACK CLOAK. Come into the water. Just a bit closer. Just a smidge.

(BLACK CLOAK is available at my storenvy: meredithmcclaren.storenvy.com)

BLACK CLOAK by @kellythompson.bsky.social
and me. Letters by @beccasee.bsky.social . Design by @rianhughes.bsky.social

An illustration of a small cave opening in a lagoon. Rocks and plants litter the scene. Lurking near the opening of the cave, glaring out, is Sabra, the lead mermaid from BLACK CLOAK. If you can see her, it's already too late.

I don’t see anywhere near enough ppl talking about this book. It’s epic & if you haven’t read it yet you need to try it out!

Stumbled across my copy of The Science Service by Rian Hughes and John Freeman. Unfortunately the spine has cracked on the inside page but I do love the retro European style binding
