Chank Diesel – Font Artist

Writing/Essay/Journal
Alphabetician Chank Diesel says he is inspired by handmade signage – things made by a human, not by a computer. He says that they have humanity because they aren’t perfect. How do you feel about perfection? How can something be perfect? What are some imperfections you’ve observed in yourself or others you know that make us more human? What does Chank Diesel want his audience to take away from the experience/piece? Who would you most like to share this type of art with?

Activity
During his segment, Diesel created a font based on a picture of a theater marquee. Create your own font based on something you have seen in person, in a picture, or in a magazine.
