Jon Contino is a well known illustrator from New York who has acquired considerable attention for his unique approach to hand-drawn lettering and typography. He combines turn of the century signage aesthetic with a modern-day approach, something I am undoubtedly drawn to. Work like this is immensely inspiring to me and I’m glad hand drawn lettering is making a comeback.
Jon is not only talented in typographic illustrations, as you can see below, he is also a very talented portrait illustrator/caricaturist as well:
