Darlinghurst Car Wash

Thursday, January 14th, 2010

Alot of art in Darlinghurst is hidden away in the back alleys and streets, which often makes it enjoyable to walk around and discover.

One spot which stands out for us is the Darlinghurst car wash on Victoria st/Darlinghurst rd. Now also the home of a massive JumboZap text poster.

The wall was painted in 2004 by Numskull, Teazer, Minigraff, Vexta, Zap, Delpar and Imago.

Go Font Ur Self* Artist Q&A: Jumbo

Thursday, October 8th, 2009

The Opening Hours is proud to present a series of interviews with the contributing artists in chapter 3 of Go Font Ur Self*. The exhibition dedicated to exploring and pushing the diverse range of techniques employed in type design of past, present and future through original pieces of work from talented typographers worldwide.”

To kick things off, we’ve decided to go with one of the few Sydney locals. Jumbo!

GFUS* Jumbo

1. Describe yourself with one word
mega

2. Describe your typography.
i like to  cut and shape my lettering by hand so that it has a few uneven curves that  give it a personality..I like a bit of rough edge.

3. Do you adhere  to the rules and regulations of typography, or make up your  own?
im aware of  the scale when i make a letter so that it doesnt stray too far from the fit of  the font, but rules are bendable as much as the letter.

4. What artists /  typographers have influenced you in your recent work.
Herge

5. What is the most acclaimed project you have worked  on?
nothing major in the area of typography

6. what is it  about typography that you love?
it would  have to be the personality of a hand drawn letterstyle . . .thats a buzz for  me.

7. What is your  favourite letter and why?
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ  look at it  . . what a geometric beauty!!!

8.  serif or san serif ?
sans

9. what can we expect to see soon from you? Other  projects, shows, etc.

Im doing a  show at May Lane in St Peters at the end of October with long time  collaborator ZAP.

Go Font Ur Self* opens next Thursday (15th) night at Peer Gallery, 153 Bridge Rd Glebe. 6pm.
