PS: To visitors from StumbleUpon; I invite you to check out the rest of Faux-Beau; a blog dedicated to inspiration, art, fashion and design! 

As recommended by Jazzi, I’m posting a few images every so often from my “inspiration” folder. It could be interiors, design, type, fashion, illustration, photography… whatever it is, it’s inspiring to me. Who knows, maybe this will happen more often? Should I save the full-size images to flickr so you can save them too? Let me know in the comments!

PS: I’m now on Twitter, add me!

I was browsing the top appreciated bodies of work on the Behance Network and came across this gem:

Sweedish designer, Björn Johansson, posted 3 explorations into the anatomy of a typeface. His technical detail is exquisite!  I love it, I wish I had thought of this when my type teacher asked us to ‘design’ an 18-inch tall lowercase garamond g letterform. Next time!
