Jason Carne // Where Are They Now series

Jason Carne, lettering, hand drawn, typography, branding

We continue with our Where Are They Now series with my friend and frequent guest, Jason Carne. I first met Jason back in 2013. I can’t believe it has been ten years!!!

Episode 443 LIVE on Wednesday, June 28, 2023 at 11:30am PT / 2:30pm ET / 7:30pm BST / 8:30am in Hawaii

If you aren’t familiar with Jason’s work it is AMAZING. He takes vintage lettering to another level. He has worked on movie props, brands, signage, packaging, and so much more. I am also always amazed because he does this by hand.

He has a love for antiques and seems to be able to draw out the stories that are hidden in these old pieces of ephemera. He has multiple streams of income and has gone through a lot over the years. I am excited to catch up and see what wisdom he has to share.

He is also a type designer and has created many typefaces. THEY ARE INCREDIBLE TOO!!!

Jason has had made lots of letters since we last spoke in 2020. I hope you will join us.
