Meet illustrator and designer Tom White

I was surprised to find I've never pointed you to Tom White — he is a long-time favorite of mine — in my never-to-be-humble opinion, one of (if not the) top lettering illustrators working today.

I want to use the word "meticulous" to describe his work but I'm afraid you'd think there was some negative associated with it. So I'll couch it by saying his work is "good meticulous" — his creations demonstrate an attention to detail, a sense of order and balance, and a level of technical expertise that (to me) firmly ensconce him in the top tier of designers.

As you'll see, White is a master of Photoshop and Illustrator. I hope someday he'll give us a peak behind the scenes at the techniques he uses to produce his broad portfolio of work.
