Dream of “Sustainability”

Last night, I dreamt that I was arguing with a Debbie Millman-esque person that Marian Bantjes’s “Sustainability” piece was gorgeous (I kept using that word in the dream—and in real life). If you know who those two people are, you should find this even more funny/weird.

On Bantjes’s “Restraint”

Isn’t Marian Bantjes’s new font “Restraint” a bit too unique? I mean, I think that her work is just absolutely gorgeous and beautiful, despite my “eh” on most people’s over-indulgent illustrations (I think her illustrations are probably the only type that I don’t hate), but if someone uses that font, it’s pretty obvious that it’s by Bantjes.

I think that this font should only be used for anything that is related to Bantjes, including illustrations that are kinda like hers. Otherwise, I don’t think it’s going to work. Of course, people can show me otherwise.
