It's been a couple of years since I posted the first Heirany font, "Heirany
Bold-Marker," and it's much leaner sibling is now on the Free Stuff of the
Moment page :)

It's another warm, goofy hand-doodled roman to go along with Apple Butter,
Phaeton John, etc. Destined to be a scrapbooker classic :)
Other recent fontoid news:
- The most recent Penguin/Puffin editions of the Judy Blume "Fudge/Peter
Hatcher/Sheila" novels-for-youngsters make prominet (as in, cover titles) use of
Apple Butter.
- I finally saw one of the cool dinosaur kits that Dorling-Kindserly uses
Dirty Headline on. Yay!
- I did some custom glyph-work (expanding Dirty Headline) for the Minnesota
Vikings the other day
- Local Denver bands make just as much use of my fonts on their posters as
local Austin bands did, which is a nice bit of continuity to my life :)
- Most interesting _forthcoming_ unauthorized use of DH: a book called
"Phallic Frenzy," coming out in a few days, about the films of Ken Russell (it's
not used on the cover, but for all the interior chapter headings). Yes,
font-spotting has become such second-nature that I see 'em coming even before
they're released (that, and a local used bookstore was selling an advance
review-proof).
- And so on (including another nightclub, another lottery commission, and
more).
And, believe it or not, _most_ of each day is still spent divided among dozens
of RPG projects. It's the "divided among dozens" thing that really does the
damage :/ Attention-span issues, I guess.
Oh hey, a shiny thing!
