Typonaut

Want some advice? Don’t brush your teeth with a toothbrush you used to splatter ink unless you want your teeth black. I know from experience…just joking. I’m not joking however about the greatness of a toothbrush as a brush. It creates some great splatter effects. Today, I used the splatter effect to help create my first skateboard design. I’ve always wanted to try and I’ve seen some great designs from my friends so I thought this would be a perfect opportunity. I downloaded a free skateboard template, scanned in some paintings, and drew my own type. I even created a new title for the great typographers of the world: the typonaut.

    I’m definitely digging your skateboard! I love the color bar on the bottom right and all the registration marks. The splatter effect gives it that oh so popular “worn” look but in a slightly different way. I like it! Good job. Do Typonauts do typography in space? Because if so, I really want to be a typonaut!
    p.s. I’m glad you don’t have black teeth.

    You know, it was once fashionable to have your teeth blackened.

    haha, I also like the skateboard. I agree with Kristina that it has a “worn” look, but it still feels fresh. hehe, and I’m not sure how I would feel about black teeth… even if it was fashionable.
