The Ampersand

Tons of Antique Ampersands

March 25, 2009

All of the antique ampersands you would ever want can be purchased for only $50,000. Maybe a little steep for me. Some really nice stuff in this collection.

Hey guys, I’m back.

I had a freelance gig for a while that kept me pretty busy for a while. In the next few days, I plan to get the ampersand stuff rolling in again.

I think this was a gay porn shop.

Closed down now due to the internet. Anyways, pretty cool lettering. It was removed about a week after I took this photo.

So I printed up some nice new business cards with the help of my friend Hannah. There is no actual ampersand on the card. Hannah ended up doing lots of the printing since I am pretty slow on that infernal contraption of hers, so I poked around in the type case and found this:

Sorry about the horrible blurry photo. i-telephones don’t exactly have great lenses for macro shots. That is Clarendon, by the way.

Here is the final card. If you are nice to me, I might send you one.

Student Ampersand Project

February 23, 2009

I like this. Student designed ampersands from Bath Spa University. There are some interesting design solutions in there.

Emma Says:

Hi I’ve just found you sight [sic] and also have much love for the ampersand. I’ve recently graduated from Bath Spa university doing graphic design and in our final year we took part in a project to design our own ampersands. We then screen printed them onto t-shirts and took many photos. It was so much and every single one was completely different. I thought it might be something u would be interested in so here are some pics including a pdf of mine.

Have you ever wanted to draw pretty pictures using ampersands? Well now you can! Tracee made this set. One in the bottom right that just might be a Chinese character, or maybe just some weird goofy font.

Here what I made with the set.
