books of the bible illustrated

 

Oh. My. Word. So this is a little different than my typical post, but I just couldn’t resist when I ran across these prints by designer Jim LePage. These prints are part of a series called “Word”, they are illustrations of all of the books of the bible. Incredible! Even more I love the story behind these prints (read it in the designers own words here). He basically created this as a way to discipline himself to read the bible. I totally struggle with the same thing. I often times put daily bible reading on the bottom of my list of things to do, in favor of things I “enjoy” more. He came up with a way to teach himself discipline by doing something he enjoys along with the reading… And I have found that when I set aside time for reading the Bible, quickly the feelings of “I have to read” turn into “I want to read the word, and spend time with Jesus today”. Love this!

On a side note, if you are looking for artwork for your home, these would be incredible and they are for sale here (so reasonably priced too!). I am thinking about purchasing some for my husband’s (hopefully) soon to be home office.

50 designers got together to illustrate their state’s motto as a “new way of looking at our country”. I love! Go find your state here.

Lost Type Co-Op

 

Lost Type. I love this site, download really great typefaces: pay what you can/want for them. (I hope you pay something because these designers are talented and if you are planning on using their work you should compensate them!) Lost Type doesn’t take a cut from the sale of any typefaces, all funds go directly to the designers. I love these great type faces. I am especially in love with Deming by Mike Fortress right now. What a great resource!

* Just an FYI some of the typeface files are .ttf’s (meaning they will work in your font library, some are .ai or .eps files so they will need to be placed into documents like an old school type would on a press i.e. you’ll need advanced program such as Adobe Illustrator to open them in/use them)
