Since a wee lad, I’ve been interested in type. It started with graffiti, but I’ve since grown to appreciate all kinds of type ranging from calligraphy to letterpress, and everything in-between. As I continue to try new ways of exploring type, anything that deserves long-term sharing will be posted here.
My Business Card
Typography Illustration Design by 31216 – the inverse (black type on white) is one half of my business card.
Graffitiami
This kirigami card was done as a gift for my brother Ryan. Its related posts are consistently in the “top posts” widget on this site . It easily ranks as one of my most favorite of type designs. You can check the process again at step 1, step 2, final and additional pics
Baduizm
A fan of the Fillmore concert posters from the 60’s-70’s, I attempted to recreate and modernize that look with an Erykah Badu poster. In her headwrap are the track names from her debut album Baduizm. The process can be viewed again at step 1, step 2, step 3, and final.

Town Business

Done in Illustrator.
31216 Circle
While squeezing text within a given space was nothing new, doing it with a very structured feel was. For the text, of course, when ideas are running thin, you can always go with your moniker. Here’s both right side up and upside down.
