As a combination of disclaimer and introduction I have had the pleasure of working with Toronto-based illustrator Ben Weeks on one project late last year, as well as sharing a cup of coffee sometime when he visited Brooklyn. He is both a fantastic illustrator/letterer and a friendly coffee sharer. (This doesn't mean you have to ask us for coffee to get on FPO!). Knowing his work, it was great to receive a large promo from him in the mail that didn't show any of his work, but instead it was a fold-out poster that depicted, in his signature wobbly style, all of his many loves, from Speak Up (circled in pink marker just for us), to NASA, to Paul Rand, to a number of design books and publications, and a myriad other things, all sweetly printed purple on an off-white paper. And, yes, coffee (or tea?) is one of his loves.

Beautiful. Thanks Ben.♥
Great job Ben!
It's an honor to have been included on his poster, let alone his mailing list.
Ben-
This is AMAZING.
Actually... both idea and execution are equally nice. Great work!
Awesome!
It's beautiful, and a great nod to all of the things he enjoys...
BUT, the front of the poster is eerily reminiscent of "Pretty Sure..." by Nick Schmitz, no?
Just great, Ben.
no???!!
Colour looks quite fetching in person. Lovely, wonderful simple style.
Nice work Ben!
"Rick Astley would never..."
HAAAAA HAAAA HAAA
Wonderful all the way around.
Thank You (and thanks Armin for posting)
