I couldn’t come to terms with the bunny/chick/badly drawn butterfly lark so i got onto the sewing machine + heat press and finally my Malevich inspired nursery carpet is finished! Seems simple but took ages to make…. Ouf!

Typo T-shirts 01

Thursday, March 18th, 2010

For a couple of weeks, some Cats and others have been reuniting around Harrisson for what he calls “Invisible University” lessons on typography, the letter, and fonts. The 2 hour sessions consisted of him talking about the different aspects of type and how to arrange it in the grid, thus showing us his favourite books and grand masters from his large graphic design book case.
Last night we had a playful time in the +nurse+ studio, with the aim of participating in a competition on T-shirts and Typography. So we gathered round a few sheets of vynile, beer, crisps and a hot press.
Here are a few picts of the hand-cutting session….
