On the evening of Thursday April 6, 2006 at Harold's Gallery at Insync Media, LA’s design community gathered to attend the opening of an exhibition to view a collection of lettering and typographic design spanning 25+ years...
"Insync's recent exhibition gathered some of the shining lights of lettering, no longer just black and white images, these were grandly embellished with color, texture and atmosphere. A few of the artists brought preliminary pencil drawings proving that the art is not dead, instead is vital for the dazzling art that should be lovingly encased between hard covers for typophiles, and posterity." Doyald Young

"The Letter As Image Show was a reminder that the art of the letterform is alive and well. The painstaking work of hand lettered type solutions and the beauty of the pencil tissues on view is testament to the talent of the artists who tightly crafted with template and S curve a tradition thought to have been extinct. The show is fuel for a new generation of type designers who will find inspiration in the the bridge between the handiwork of the 20th century and the digital renderings of the 21st." Jim Heimann Editor, Taschen Publishing.

"I thoroughly enjoyed viewing the works of some of the most highly acclaimed graphic designers from around the country.  These artists who specialize in logos and lettering have had a clear influence on our pop culture as evidenced by their extensive work in the motion picture and music industries.  I truly enjoyed this amazing show and made at least three complete rounds through the gallery.  This was so easy to do since many of the pieces on display were that of original classic album covers that I grew up with. The “Letter as Image” show is one that should not go unnoticed!" Joel Andryc Chief Creative Office Saban Capital Group

"Oh my God! I loved the show! I've been at a lot of shows - but the energy and talent all in one room - all with one theme - was amazing!!!" Jo Ann Miller Marketing Representative Directory of Illustration.

Our next exhibition will be held at the Society of Illustrators in New York in January 2007. See "exhibitions" for more details
