Embarassing Confession #1 - "Font-tastic"

I have a rabid passion for fonts... have I ever mentioned that before?  Fonts, fonts, fonts, and more fonts.  I've spent countless hours doodling version upon version of the alphabet.  In high school my signature and handwriting fluctuated as frequently as the weather.  I love checking for new fonts on free services such as dafont.com and urbanfonts... or splurging on one of the ones from MyFonts.com.  So many fonts, so little time... what is a letter-lovin' girl to do!

In honor of this blush-inducing revelation I've put together a sampling of some lovely examples of... FONTS!  Hurray!Featured from top to bottom (and left to right):

"Happy" by Sian Keegan (see more of her fantastic work here, shop in her etsy shop, and read her blog).

"An Album - 1845 - Lucy King - Harrisburg Pa. (14)" from nyctreeman.

"Home" from pretty damn glam.

"new wall o' art" in the talented Lisa Congdon's home.  See her art and shop here and read her blog here.

"I Never Wanted You" by scarlett -.

"I've-Got-Nothing-to-Say" by Alex Noriega.  See more of his fantastic work here and read his blog here.

Art by David Shrigley, as photographed by I am Hello.

"Life in Every Breath" and "Ampersand" by me.
