I found this thing on the internet and it looks like a lot of fun!
It’s a really neat online tool for making fonts. You can make your own type set and save it as TrueType folder, as well as downloading and using other people’s creations under the a Creative Commons license (and sharing yours, too!).

SCREENPRINTING FOR ILLUSTRATORS
SPRING ‘08 Sessions- 6 week courses
May 6- June 10
Tuesday evenings 6:30pm - 9:30pm
Cost: $235 Material Fee: $65
Enhance your illustration using the tactile art of screenprinting.
In this course, you’ll practice in a professional printing studio and
develop DIY techniques to set up a small-scale print area in your own
home. We’ll discover how to create multicolour screenprints using
various printing, colour separation and registration techniques. We’ll
also create highly-detailed film positives with Adobe Photoshop and
get an introduction to CMYK screenprinting techniques. Finally,
production of self-promotion will be made based on your artistic
directive through: business cards, t-shirts, posters, mailers, or artist
editions. No previous screenprinting experience or Adobe Photoshop
skills are required. (Taught by, Jeff Garcia)

Here’s a great project for an important issue. Sponsored by Moveable Inc., The Gas Company, Krups, and Applied Arts, it’s a chance for all sorts of artsy people to create an image to raise awareness of global warming.
Every entry will be posted on this blog , and three talented people will get their posters printed up for reals. And one lucky person will get a prize package from Krups, consisted of two really nifty appliances that any artist could appreciate: espresso machine and blender, both designed by renowned industrial designer Konstantin Grcic. Oh, and the winning image will be published in Applied Arts.
Deadline for entry is January 25, 2008.
So get cracking!
Hello everyone. You may have noticed that new posts have been few and far between. This has mainly been due to some technical issues which occurred when I upgraded the server that Rasterform sits on. We now have oodles of more space to add our zany goodness, faster accessibility, and more bandwidth (because, honestly, we could all use some more bandwidth in our lives). So, upload away, watch for new stuff, and enjoy the new banner that Ilya will be adding tomorrow!
Hey all, I just finished fixing up the rest of the database and I added some style tweaks to the site as well so it isn’t so boring and plain. I think the new annoying background suits our rag-tag band of experimental illustrators, no?
Ilya’s working on a new Flash banner to go up top too, so stay tuned for new and exciting weirdness to go above every single post!
Alrighty then. Let’s get back to drawing!
Yeah , since this is screwed up maybe we’ll update the design a bit while fixing it
Seems there’s some weird problem with the database for rasterform… the comments table got corrupted or something. I’m looking into it and will try to have it working tomorrow. Hopefully I can recover all the old comments, but I’m not sure what happened at this point. Some data may have been lost. Cross your fingers!
Canadian Heritage has some interesting info about
doing business in other countries. ie: New York Art Fairs,
(The Visual Arts Market in the Tri-State Area for Canadian Art Galleries)
and other goodies;
My illustration made the cover of the Portland Mercury this week.
