Loads of free comic fonts! Even Roy Lichtenstein style

You want to use Roy Lichtensteins comic font that he used in his speech bubbles? One was created by Albright-Knox Art Gallery: "P22 Pop Art Comic"

According to Fontshop
"The Pop Art font set was developed for the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo, New York. The Comic typeface, in regular and bold italic, was inspired by the work of Roy Lichtenstein, whose crisp, clear caps were distinctive but legible."

You can buy it for example here:

Martin Slaatto is weird...

...and really loads of fun!

Went to see Martin Slaatto´s new show/installation/act at Maridalen Skytebane in Oslo. It was one 1h of strange experience. A man dressed in a red track suite, jumping around, climbing trees, flying a remote controlled helicoptre and suddenly reciting Hamlet. Everything without irony, but not without humour! 1hour fun with free coffee and rolls for 100kr. Well recommended!

Check out his website: http://www.slaattosloyfa.no

Here is a review of the show: Slaattos lek på alvor (its in Norwegian)
