Jim was as good a storyteller as he was a letterer. At the TYPO SF 2012 conference he was in top yarn-spinning form. We’re proud to preserve the TYPO Talks archive, including this recording: https://vimeo.com/1098216690

Jim Parkinson died today. He was a prolific and astoundingly gifted lettering artist, type designer, and painter. I feel lucky to say he was also my friend.
