Artist - Ed Fella


He practiced professionally as a commercial artist in Detroit 30 years before receiving an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art in 1987. His new love of teaching inspired him to become a student at the Academy. Currently lives in Los Angeles, taught at the California Institute of the Arts where he still teaches today and published his own unique work in many design publications and anthologies. His work is in the National Design Museum and MOMA in New York. His spare time is devoted to self expression and experimentation with typography. He started his drawing and typography work in sketchbooks which are viewed on his website. He has drawn in sketchbooks for over thirty-seven years. Fellas do everything by hand, a true artist in every sense. He built his career over 30 years in the profession of design are still using pencils, pens, pencils, knives, etc., by refusing to use the computer. Ed Fella said, ".. there comes a time when you need to pack them and retire .. stop, do not compete with the current generation .. let all the money, all the work, all the glory of the Thirty years is not enough. Do not want to be burned and may have another career. "


Colors are used most often in a specific word, usually the colors were painted using the color pencil as you can also notice by the way of letters painted. Another technique which reminds me of fantasies, but combined with the elegance of the black colour. In just one drawing, you can even find a four produced fonts, different from each other.
