Hydro Seventy Four

New Fonts from Hydro74

THREE NEW HYDRO74 FONTS
Introducing 3 new fonts to the Hydro74 Font Roster. Over the past month I’ve been inspired by various elements in Tattoo Typography mixed with a Latino West Coast structure. I’m really digging these new ones and hope you do too.

Darth Vader Print

I was recently contacted by Michael over at Ventilate to be part of their downloadable poster series. The concept was ‘What inspired you 10 years ago’. The piece is pretty obvious but in 2000 I remember still being excited about the new Star Wars series and seeing more and more Obey posters flooding the internet. Granted, Episode One of Star Wars was a disappointment since at the end, it didn’t make a lot of sense and really lacked a core protagonist, but … visually, amazing. Anyway, that is a whole different debate. And let’s all face it. As much as you might say you hate Obey, you really appreciate it and admire the success that Shepard has done with it from a small paper sticker. I personally admire him and his work so any chance to rip the Chinese Propaganda style poster color themes, .. I’m down.

This piece of art is available over at Ventilate, which is a great site for those into motion graphics. Go grab it, and check it out! There is also a few others up by some amazing talent. Marco Vinicio, Jois and Rex, Jason Doherty, and so forth

Pop Up Fresh Interview

I had the honor of doing a interview with Brick over at Pop Up Fresh. When you get a moment, check it out! I had a chance to offer some advice, thought and those who inspire me. Over all, I think it’s a great read, but then again, I’m very bias.
