Another Jeanne Moderno spotting: Used for titles on TV Land’s third season of She’s Got The Look.

Judge Robert Verdi (above) can be really funny too. Been a fan since he was on that reality show where he used to sneak into people’s houses, redesign their rooms and make them cry at the end.

Everyone has their inspirations, their muses. And on the music front, one of mine is the incredible Chelsea Davis. I draw fonts, listen to her tracks. Design some stuff for her. She does a lot.

Chelsea’s classically trained, plays drums for theSTART, Normandie, among a few others. Her personal project is iVellora – and  . . .  great voice.

Her newest project is Volcano Dolls – a collaboration with Suicide Girl Jessica Goodwin (Google Zoli). They’ll be playing LA’s Viper Room this Friday.

Flyer (above) designed by Lux Nova. It features my 2491 font. Volcano Dolls Facebook page here – with new tracks posting soon.
