Brain Melt

So, there's this really cheap beer here in Minnesota that tastes like river water and makes you stupid.
It's like what you drink while wearing snowpants, I'm not dissing it too bad because I've bailed them
out of the recession personally... anyways my friend called it Brain Melt the other day and I've been
laughing since.  This is a famous sign over a busy bridge downtown Minneapolis so I had to see it
through.  Happy New Year!  I don't think I can think of it any other way anymore.  In 2010 I'm
switching to Arizona Arnold Palmers and Labatt Blue to expand my cultural horizions.

Want a Font?

Click to download Ameliaire .ttf  download

I made this font and I've been using it a lot so I decided to make it available as a download in ttf.
I'm going to go ahead and give the disclaimer right up front that it's pretty freestyle. The kerning isn't
perfect and the glyphs have random moments but there are lots of cool moments in their architecture.
All-in-all it's fun to design with, even if it takes a tweek here and there.  I named it Ameliaire because
my birthday's on Amelia Earhart day hooray!

Without any thought about whether it's "useful" to anyone.

You never know what holes you're patching but you know if you're trying.  Maybe not thinking about use can be a
useful thought.  So long as, that thing that you have no specific use for, is still genuinely useful.

Here's a look at the font I'm developing.  I'm working on the kerning.  That's the big challenge.

A Snowball's Chance...

This is a ticket I recieved, ironically four years ago today, for throwing a snowball in college.
