Six Pixels of Death
6 Pixels Of Death is a new pixel based typeface that was created by our friends over at cypher13. The typeface was developed for screen based design and though there are a handful of pixel based typefaces that already exsist, after a bit of experimenting with a beta version… I’m extremely surprised by this face’s versatility. Most pixel based fonts blow out below or above a few sizes, I’ve been shocked/pleased with how this typeface scales within slight adjustments, almost sharpening & morphing a bit… just outside it’s perfect pixel size.
More info to come in another post as soon as the typeface is released by cypher13 and made available to the public.
C86 / Matt Lyon
Matt Lyon is a UK based graphic designer/artist who produces work under the name C86. He is one among a handful designers/illustrators that I have ran across recently and have been cyber stalking via twitter. I find Matt’s work super inspiring, he has a looser style that feels a bit more organic and hand crafted, the hardest part about compiling this particular post is fighting the urge to put up a good portion of his creative output. Matt has been a continous contributor up on threadless, and was recently featured in Digital Arts magazine, he’s won several awards, and has been recognized by notable design publications, he brings a wide range of shapes and surfaces to life with his work, but no matter what the medium, from the outside looking in it seems he just enjoys the fact that he is able to be creative for a living. Below is a brief collection of work from the C86 website that I feel embodies exactly that.

Filmstock Commemorative Poster
Having recently taken the jump into the wonderful world of freelancing my posts have become somewhat slack (for which I apologize in advance). However, I have just finished up on one of my first commissions for friends who run the Filmstock International Film Festival, Luton, UK. It’s a limited edition screen printed poster commemorating 10 years of the festival which is running from the 5th – 15th November. If you’re in the area be sure to check it out :)
