Typography has long been a cornerstone of human communication, and with the invention of movable type came not only the spread of knowledge but also the birth of graphic design itself—a fusion of creativity and innovation that continues to inspire today.

The story behind The Framed Pencil Chimpanzee Collection is one of expression—capturing the humor and humanity of chimpanzees through two lighthearted portraits.

Continuing the Ink & Wash story, these illustrations highlight bold ink lines enhanced with subtle pops of color, blending tradition with a modern touch.

Colored pencil brings delicate texture and rich detail to each piece, capturing the essence of the Vintage Nouveau West style. These artworks blend nostalgic western motifs with the flowing, decorative elegance of Art Nouveau for a timeless, whimsical charm.

Inspired by the centuries-old India Ink & Wash technique, these portraits explore delicate lines, subtle shading, and the timeless elegance of vintage style.
