Type work for Street Justice

I've never considered myself good with fonts/type but as I've been messing around with Street Justice and I've found myself drawn to hand lettering. Not for text (it's way beyond my skills to be that clean)but in dealing with the title font. I just really needed to dive straight into it. I've been looking at some of my favorite album cover and seeing their approach to lettering. I came up with this brush pen lettering that's going to go in Street Justice ch.2



I've been doing these little studies on bristol... can you tell what I was watching while doing them


a Jar of sumi ink kind of congealed in my bag last week and turned to the texture of cottage cheese. However, it now make much odder brush stokes and shapes. I think that the Street Justice cover is going to have a similar looking title.


If you guessed the Mighty Boosh then you guessed right!


Sigh... the scanner didn't get the awesome yellows and purples in this one. Damn you Epson!

this one has nothing to do with fonts. It's just a fun ink study. can any one read my handwriting? 

earliest study, similar to the original way i was drawing the title
