Last weekend I finally printed a small print run of the Love Poem. As I write this I'm still navigating how I'm going to list and sell them in an online store front. Historically my attempts to sell art online have not gone well. At any rate, I thought I'd talk about some of the design decisions and considerations I made throughout.

I LOVE it. 🙂 I have a distant past in magazine art direction, typesetting (old school) and typographic design and am a lifelong poet/writer. I dig Helvetica Neue. This just makes me smile, in my heart—how rare is that? :). It’s gorgeous and reading all of your various considerations, decisions felt like deja vu from parson’s days in nyc when i dreamed a dream.

Thank you! I’m trying to decide if at any point I’m going to share some of those earlier versions. I even had one that I was ready to print for a Kickstarter attempt and I’m kind of glad it failed. Most of them pretty cringeworthy now.
