Parallel Strokes

My good friend Tokyo-based graphic designer Ian Lynam — he of my fancy shmancy new series of M31 logos — has just released his first book, PARALLEL STROKES. It’s a collection of interviews with “twenty-plus contemporary typeface designers, graffiti writers, and lettering artists around the world.” Here’s more on what to expect:
It promises to be a fascinating look at the intersection between graffiti and type design, and you just know it’s going to look good as well, with illustrations galore, including works that have never been published. You can find out more about the book in this post Ian wrote on the META no TAME blog, as well as visit the book’s official site (that includes this sample PDF), where you can order it for $25 (free shipping worldwide).

I had a website once. I put links on it.
It was a cyber-entity that made me cool.

Huh?
Good point Jean.

but I would have to read it again to be sure…

Where are the links to the jeans???
You want jeans too?
Me too!
Oh, Roger, thank you so much for clearing that up.
This doesn’t belong here.
Actually, still reading it again.
If there is any hidden meaning there, I mean to find it!
How much are the jeans, by the way?
Does this belong here? My dog bit me once.
