New Sinister Fonts on the Horizon: Swamp Witch, Spiderfingers and Lycanthrope

I used the holiday weekend to draw, scan and convert 3 new spooky typefaces, which will be available at http://www.sinisterfonts.com in a week or two. Swamp Witch and Spiderfingers were inspired by two hand-lettered logos I did in the last couple of years; Lycanthrope I just made up last night while watching An American Werewolf in London. Previews below. If you want first crack at these as soon as they're released, I'll be announcing it on my mailing list first.

New Print Vendor Recommendation Page

In one of those "I can't believe I haven't thought to do this already" moments, I've added a page of recommended print vendors to the website. Visit http://www.sinistervisions.com/services/vendors.html to see a list of printers with whom Sinister Visions has worked, and for whom Sinister Visions will vouch. This list will grow as new printers are discovered/prove themselves.

Chad Savage Resigns from IAHA Board of Directors

After several years of providing graphic and web design/management services for the International Association of Haunted Attractions, as well as having served on the Board of Directors for almost 2 years, I have tendered my resignation from both the Board and as the on-call designer/web guy due to the simple fact that I can't devote the time required to adequately fulfill either role anymore without penalizing my client base.

I will, of course, continue to support IAHA and its endeavors, but from now on as a vendor member.
