I've posted Mike Perry before; for the first Type as Image brief, mainly because of his book Hand Job but also because he's a good designer Obviously!

Above are a collection of some of my favourite typography based pieces that he has done.
All of them have a hand rendered feel to them and this is definately something I want to take inspiration from.

2 things I noted from the above pieces were;
The 2 'About a girl' resolutions; they both look completely different and have quite opposite approaches with one being bold, simple, cut out shapes and the other quite illustrative and hand drawn yet the both work?
And...the Bikini typeface; type doesn't have to be drawn!
