Part 1 of 2

‘Jim is affable and funny and incredibly humble, despite the caliber and profile of his work. It was a joy to spend time in his studio as he casually pulled from his flat files one landmark piece of design history after another.’

Stephen Coles sat down with Jim Parkinson and talked about his beginnings as a lettering artist, working at Hallmark, work for Rolling Stone, Newsweek (Dope-n-beer! Will never look at the Newsweek logo the same again), the circus and ‘cigar-smoking twits.’ FontFeed articles here, and here. Videos above (and below).
