I'm teaching an intro to typography class this upcoming semester, and I'm in the process of putting a variety of typographic samples together for my students.
I have most of the historically relevant typographers / designers covered, but I'm looking for a mix of lesser-known and contemporary typographic work in all styles.
If you have something interesting to share (your own work included), and feel like helping a brotha' out, it would be most appreciated.

- Your point is taken. Functional type will be the heart of the class, but for discussion, I like extremes.262

Marian Bantjes has made quite a splash in recent years. Her background is in solid typographic practice, but most of her stuff these days is firmly ensconced in typographic illustration.
