Saw Si in Toronto last spring. Its amazing that every last line is hand drawn.

AMAZING.

I was fortunate enough to see Si Scott presenting at a design conference a couple years back in Sydney, Australia. And i got to meet him at the after party for a chat, he's great guy and a mind blowing artist.

I think Si Scott is the reason you find so many free swirly vector packs all over the internet, but he draws them all by hand and scans them in. You can't copy that :)

That is absolutely incredible. I've been wanting to learn more about typography recently, but this is beyond anything I could have imagined. Extremely inspiring post.

Thank you!

Anyone know if you can buy prints of his work? I have some searching to do tonight.
