Michael Perry works in Brooklyn NY making books, magazines, illustrations, drawings and even teaches when he gets chance. His first book was published in 2006 titled 'Hand job'. The book is a collection of 50 most talented typographers who draw by hand. I was first introduced to this book when producing work for a typography elective where I, like the designers in Perry's book drew my own typeface.
For me, the real reason why I love this book is because it's nice to see typographers still drawing by hand other than using computer generated graphics. Each piece of work featured in Perry's books shows hand drawn work carefully executed. Composition is carefully enhanced by unplanned 'accidents' of line shape and colour.
