Memento Mori

Let me say that I’m glad to be in a place where I can sit back and just draw and design new stuff. With that let me introduce to you our latest offering, Memento Mori. This translates to “Remember you must die”, the orgin of the word memento. This was a special request to capture the meaning through a morbid skull and cherry blossoms, which in the east is symbolic for the fleeting nature of life. There is even a beauty in death; the cherry blossoms adorn a skull with a scroll framing the motto. Concept by Edny Gammons. Base font design Gangland by Billy Argel. Really, if you respect your work use respectable fronts! Hop on over to his site and check out one of my modern favorite artists.
