Type Games
I found this type game on Jason Santa Maria's site. His site is amazing but back to the post at hand. This game is not quite angry birds but it might be for type nerds. Try to get a perfect score! Try the game here

Everybody

When the song "Elevators" was released, this hook ( for which this typography/graphic was inspired from ) was the anti-hook. It curled around corners and walked right beside you like a kind stranger. Then it was gone right when you started to understand. You couldn't wait until the next reprise so you could hear it once again. It's an amazing lullaby, who's pacing and breaths made you want to have a life with the same air. This piece is that to me simple, interesting, elegant and going for a ride. Lately, Outkast has been on steady shuffle and repeat. This usually happens during introspective days or periods for me.
I'm looking into using the letterpress technique on this design. 18"X24" or 30"X40

Practice Makes Better (Perfect)

So, I'm going to come off like an a**hole in this post. Well, maybe not. You decide.
To be good at anything you have to work really really hard... there's no other way to get around it! Bust a** or suck for the rest of your life. Any kind of talent that one has can be traced to the obsessions of that person. So when people say ish like you're lucky to have a job, I say f'you! Guess what? I've been drawing since the age of 2! When you do something all your life you better be good to great at it. If not, what's the point? So practice makes close to perfect. Work it out.
Above are typographic treatments I've been working on. I'm kinda obsessed with practicing forever
