Cam has been working on a project and it has been in the works for months.
He finished it up and originally posted on Monday, March 9, here.
The page views on that original post as of Friday is up to over 30,000 which does not take into consideration the countless tweets and blogs that link to the large version of the image directly and countless more linking to other blogs that have it on their sites. To show you what I mean, this is a link to direct Google hits.
His two inboxes are full of requests for prints as well as multiple offers for printing. A professor at Cal Tech wants the image in his next year’s 5th edition textbook “Visual Communication Images with Messages” to which Cam already replied “Of course!”.
A company is interested in creating a large wall decal of the image.
He is holding out for his favorite printing company Hammerpress. He is in talks with the owner and waiting (im)patiently for the final details.
I cannot believe the stir he’s caused in the world of graphic design. All this from the little brother who’s toothbrush I used, in days gone by, to clean the grout around the toilet.
No, I am really SO very proud of him and can’t wait to see how all this unfolds. When you click on the links, be sure and read all the comments. He really is a quite amazing guy.
Now I bet he’s gonna want to be paid for any blog work I get… Sheesh. 😉

Will he give family members discounts on that wall-sized print? I’ll pay for the frame, erm, um, cousin.
Seriously. That’s one of the coolest things I’ve heard all day.

AWESOME! I love seeing people work hard at something they love and find success with it. Way to go Cam!
(Has he seen the documentary Helvetica? I hope I spelled it correctly. It’s the history of fonts. I also read a college graduation speech given by Steve Jobs about how he took a handwriting class and it influenced what fonts were available on computers. I love stuff like this!
Yay, yay, yay!
