About this site

My friends call me Tommy. I'm a graphic designer living in Chicago. This is where I post some process images, some finished designs, some music, opinions, and other stuff.

I just did a little test with something called ‘anamorphic typography’. Essentially, it is an illusion where the type looks just right when viewed from the exact right spot, but it looks stretched and warped when viewed from elsewhere in the room. We might be doing something similar in a HOLLY HUNT showrooms later this year, so I did this in a room above my parents’ garage to make sure I could pull it off when the time comes. For what it is worth, I certainly didn’t invent this sort of thing, and I’d like to give lots of credit to this project by Joseph Egan and Hunter Thompson for tipping me off to the idea, as well as the artist Felice Varini, who is doing this sort of thing on a much larger and much more impressive scale.

Samples from my typeface Versteeg, an experiment in which I tried to reduce each letter to the simplest block structure possible before it becomes illegible. I originally developed this lettering for this poster I designed, but eventually developed it into a proper typeface. Available for purchase through MyFonts.
