You could literally spend a couple hours looking through the work of Post Typography and every minute would yield some sort of inspiration. Their work is just that good.

About Post Typography:
“Originally conceived in 2001 as an avant garde anti-design movement by Nolen Strals and Bruce Willen, Post Typography specializes in graphic design, conceptual typography, and custom lettering/illustration with additional forays into art, apparel, music, curatorial work, design theory, and vandalism. Their work has received numerous fancy design awards and has been featured in such publications as Ellen Lupton’s Thinking With Type and D.I.Y.: Design It Yourself, The Art of Modern Rock, Metropolis magazine, Taschen’s Contemporary Graphic Design, and Phaidon’s Area 2. Post Typography have appeared in numerous design and art exhibitions, and their posters are collected by high school punk rockers and prominent designers (whom they consider equally important). Strals and Willen currently teach classes in design and typography at the Maryland Institute College of Art, and have lectured at the Cooper Union, Minneapolis College of Art & Design, and Harvard University among others.”

About the young Kate Moross:
“I am a 22 year old London based creative maestro. Practicing as an Illustrator and Graphic designer but would hate to narrow myself to those fields alone. I also run ISO & Isomorph Records which you can read about here. I have a fascination with three sided shapes, illegible typography, and freeform lettering.”

Pretty amazing for someone just starting out.
