This is the fifth and final episode in a 5-part guest lecture series in GCM 806 Advanced Typography, speaking with design typography pros from across North America!

This episode features Koy Sun, a seasoned Thai American artist, whose decade-long journey through the realms of custom lettering and illustration has recently expanded into the vibrant territories of sign painting and mural work. In this episode, you’ll hear Koy talk about his introduction to letterforms and using the painted medium to craft his work today. Koy speaks to why he believes people are drawn to hand painted signs and you’ll hear how and why sign painters think differently than traditional graphic designers. Finally, you’ll hear how Koy stays creatively inspired and why he focuses on authenticity over the algorithm.
