Self Portrait as Your Traitor

Debbie Millman's illustrated essays and visual poems are part philosophy, part art, part deeply personal memoir exposing the universal triumphs and tribulations of being human. Her hand-lettered typography - sometimes tender, sometimes gritty, always breathtaking in its visceral candor - makes Self Portrait as Your Traitor a moving masterpiece of a singular art form that speaks to our deepest longings for beauty, honesty, and the ineffable magic of what it means to live....Debbie Millman combines design and everyday life with obsessive hand-drawn typography to create visual poetry in this new art book. Her personal writing and her artistic lettering intersect in a way that express true emotion. This beautiful example of how good design can communicate more than just words and belongs on every designer's coffee table.
