Baleen Font

Posted about 4 months ago
Progress so far: Still a long way to go.. Next step is to clean up the lines of the letters I'm happy with.
This page will be updated throughout the month, so check back often as I continue with my 12 projects of 2012.
I'd love feedback and criticism on this and any of my other up coming projects.


Stage three - Parts to still work on


Points highlighted in red are sections I need to work on and improve. Need to clean up nearly all the lines but nearly done setting the framework for all the other letters, so an improvement.



Stage two - Modifying the sketch


Separating the font styles and removing the serif to see how it feels.



Stage one - Sketching the first few letters


Working on the first few letters ( B, a, l, e and n) to use as a starting block. After scanning in, I've started cleaning it up.

Baleen was originally meant to be a straight italic font but after playing with the angle, I've grown to like the standard style.

12 for 2012

Posted about 4 months ago
Sometimes finding the spare time to complete personal projects is quite a challenge. Even motivating yourself to finish that back burner project can prove to be a hassle after a long day. This year I am aiming to complete 12 projects over 12 months. One a month; totally doable.

During this year long project, I will hopefully be able to document (almost) every step and provide a brief synopsis at the end of the month. Anyway, enough talk. Here is my monthly plan.

January

Creating a font from scratch.

February

Creating a SQLless, resource and request light CMS.

March

Rolling your own super fast nginx server and how to secure it.



The other 9 shall be filled in later this week. Eep!

Cat Diaries

Posted about 1 year ago
With over 9000 nanoseconds of awesome, this little bit of awesome has started my day off with a smile. Made by Friskies and found on miss Hexingtons blog (twice), this makes me want to do this to my cat but I know his lazy ass doesn't move from the second I leave to the moment I open the cat food.. ~sigh

I hope this video gives you a great start to your day.
(If not, why not, you heartless bum.)

My only dream in life is to have this playing as I walk fly. And yes, that is a poptart cat.

CATS, CATS, CATS, CATS. I've been sitting here continuously hitting replay. This is.. just awesome. If this is what crack is like, I need to take on a new habit. I'm on crack.

You may not like the style of music but I think you'll agree that this animation is beyond awesome. I've watched it way too many times today. Put on some headphones and enjoy.

Chet Baker: Chetty's Lullaby

Posted about 1 year ago
This is possibly my favourite songs by Chet Baker. It's both beautiful and mellow (a perfect lullaby.) I've transcribed the lyrics to the best of my ability. I'm always open to suggestions or tweaks or just leave a comment if you liked the song.


Italian Translation

Veglierò, questa notte solo per te
Dolce bimbo ti dirò che presto tornerò
senza te
sento gelo nel mio cuor
cerco solo l'illusione
di averti qui con me
torneran per me le stelle
nel mio cielo senza più nubi
sogni d'or
scendon lievi verso te,
dormi caro che domani
col sol ti bacerò

English Translation

I will watch over you tonight, only for you
Sweet baby I will tell you I will soon be back
Without you
I feel cold in my heart
I search only for the illusion
of having you here with me...
The stars will be back for me
in my sky without clouds anymore
sweet dreams
they fall down lightly over you
sleep my dear, that tomorrow
with the sun I will kiss you...
