Hayabussa Typography Face
Hayabussa is actually Radek Prekurat and Artist and Hobbyist from Poland. Some of his work is spectacular!
Unfortunately we know very little about Radek, and these pieces are really the best in his portfolio!

V for Vendetta Typography
Although she uses the handle “Mythicdragon” Aveon Flame lives in the U.S. and does some art.

An eye for meticulous detail
Sean McCabe is a Hand Lettering Artist & Type Designer in San Antonio, TX. He is into meticulous detail which makes him an ideal hand lettering and typography designer. He writes :
I view lettering as a form of voice. I use it to speak the things I want to say. I am fascinated by its power. When you create beautiful lettering, that work garners attention for its own sake. It simultaneously creates a platform from which you can speak a message. You have people’s attention—now what will you say? I use this opportunity to speak messages of positivity and encouragement.
