An experiment in typographic style using the news of the day. This recent quote from a Muslim cleric seemed custom made for a wild west wanted poster, with a twist. I based the typography on actual fonts from old wanted posters, but rendered it in walnut ink, then added my own faux Asian-Farsee brush calligraphy. Apologies to the purists, at least the text is exact, as lifted from one of the many inexact translations available at online news sites and on the crumpled up front page of the Times at my local coffee shop.
