Old ideas to develop new fonts

I havent had any updates for a long time, but hey — these were busy days at work and polishing last chapters of my book. But hey, I've got some ideas of new typefaces to share with you, so, here we go:

Xabatayxa

Xabatayxa

And one more funny thing (I've been willing to draw something like this for a long time!), lets call it like "Bubbles" for now:

Alienated Bubbles Font

Monstrous Bubbles

That's all for today, but hey — I hope that in the beginning of 2012 I'll finish them and publish at MyFonts along with HairyTAle and Combs.

Sharing some cool links

Here are some awesome sites that are great for designers:

http://thenounproject.com/ — A huge collection of useful icons (.SVG). You can search, download and use them. Take a look at their blog.

http://subtlepatterns.com/ — Subtle Patterns is a collection of 87 high quality design patterns for
you to use freely. New patterns added weekly.

http://ilovetypography.com/OpenType/opentype-features.html — Awesome article about OpenType features, for those who don't know what amazing possibilities font designers can use while creating fonts.

And, sad news about Steve Jobs, yeah. He was really Great.

New websites arriving

Hello there! It is more than a year ago almost the whole team of ex-RockBee Design headed Molinos.Ru web studio, and our website became slightly abandoned.

Now it’s time for me to update it in a new way: not in a kind of official studio’s website, but like my own personal page, where my team can say whatever we like.

Approximately six years ago these pages were my personal space, and later turned into studio’s website. I’ll be updating this website section by section. Now there are two separate websites: one in English and another in Russian. Russian version is comming soon, so please, — check for updates!

The great update: All previous versions of the Studio's websites are to be archived soon
