Misprinted Type, the web presence of Eduardo Recife, is celebrating 10 years of existence this year. And what better way than to release an update? In the past 10 years Recife has managed to grow his stunning portfolio from simple fonts all the way to detailed collage illustrations, drawings, more fonts and now Recife is offering free photoshop brushes to boot. To better put it in his own words:
"Call it design, illustration, art or a waste of time, for me its a theraphy, a hobby and what makes me happy."
I'd have to agree with Recife in the sense that his work also makes me happy ... and jealous, and inspired, and everything in between. I've followed the work of misprinted type for at least the past 5 years and have to say that some of my own work, online and off, have been inspired by the use of collage in his designs.
If you haven't heard of or seen the update to misprinted type I highly suggest you do so today. Thanks again to Recife for allowing me to use his images in this post.
I found a new website that is all about character design. It's a real basic networking site that allows you to comment, blog, vote and add friends. However, it is based on the .NET platform (which I'm not crazy about) and so some of the processes seem outdated. But I just uploaded three of my original characters to the website as a test to see what response I get from the community there. I'm trying to venture out with my characters and get some more recognition outside of my immediate family and friends. Below you'll find the three characters from my One-A-Day set that I added to the site. So if you have some time 
something to keep the creative space in my mind fresh. my goal is to create one new character a day and keep them posted here on my blog as well as on my Flickr page. So far I've created three in the past week. You can view them from
