Richard Perez / Skinny Ships
I’m really impressed by this work from Richard Perez. His typographic and illustration work is super fancy. He seems to have no problem navigating styles as well as tackling a variety of design projects — his work ranges from hand drawn type and illustration, to identity and traditional design. All of his work is direct, and compelling with great execution and color palettes.
It’s really refreshing to see the enthusiasm and personality in all of Richard’s work. It’s also nice to see that we share a few things in common, including VHS tapes, Lincoln, and kittens.
Check out Richards site, Skinny Ships, and his Etsy shop.

I was psyched when a couple of months ago we got an email about Richard’s work and had a chance to give him a little write up. He’s a great artist and it’s a shame that before now his hadn’t really made the rounds. Glad you picked him up too!

Coolness!
Dave, my screenprinting partner Mike over at OKsunshine.etsy.com and I are deciding which typographic print should be printed up next. Its a toss up between “Minima Maxima” and “No Direction Home”. Any favorites?

Thats a tough call. How about both? Personally I’m leaning towards Minima Maxima. Lets toss this one out to the readers. Which print should be printed up next?

I really enjoy the color palette and quirky illustrations in the first poster. I’d definitely buy a print if you ran some! Great work.

Hey Richard! I dig them both, too! But I would definitely buy that “No Direction Home” piece…So Fresh! Type + Arrows=Game Over!
Plus, I think it would speak to a larger audience

What amazing geometric typography. I particularly like the “Wolves” piece. As a pattern, it’s beautiful art. The type is fun and engaging.
