It's been ages since I've posted to sine + cosine... and yet it survives... here's the latest i've been a workin' on... hob33 is a typeface whose name derives from the Hoboken to 33rd Street PATH train I used to ride to work every day. the commute has come and gone, but the sweet memories cannot be shaken.

As reported on the Khatt Foundation site a few months ago, my work will be included in the upcoming eps51 book 'Arabesque – Graphic Design from the Arab World and Persia', to be released in April by Die Gestalten Verlag. See the "Arabesque" video interview with Ben and Sascha.

The idea for the book came about when Ben Wittner and Sascha Thoma, the founders of eps51, moved their headquarters to Cairo, Egypt. Through the inspiration of Arabic graphic design and calligraphy, TalibType™ was born, and subsequently the germ for 'Arabesque' began to grow.

The 'Arabesque' previews offer some of the richest work I've seen. I am honored to be a part of it.

'ana intu' was originally designed for the Speak Up Word It series. The translation from the Arabic is "i am you are", or, in my thoughts, "i am you."

Web Design
I've been professionally designing websites for 4 years now. Time flies... One of my favorites is my most recent work for basicallyhuman.com, the online presence for a photography exhibition of 15 students and recent graduates of the American University in Dubai, curated by Roberto Lopardo.

A little doodle I made more than a year ago, now a major motion picture.
Okay, no - still a doodle.
Why coffee? Hmm.
I don't drink the stuff, but I know plenty who swear on it.
And swear without it.

The word is I.
I've played with the language,
with the Arabic "ana", meaning "I",
and "intu", meaning "you" (masc.).
