Why He’s Hot:
- The lovely Frank Turner is a talented musician. The man could write a song about you even. Seriously, if his earnest lyrics and lovely voice doesn’t make you melt, you’re probably not human.
- He’s an English lad. The accent (if you haven’t figured that out by now, you’re not watching the videos. Why aren’t you already????) The glorious accent. The boyish charm. It’s hypnotic, irresistible to the point where you’d find yourself catering to his every whim…not that you’d mind at all. All without the bad teeth. Which leads me to…
- …his smile. DO YOU SEE THOSE DIMPLES? DO YOU? DO YOU? THEY ARE FUCKING KRYPTONITE.
- That gorgeous, tall, slender frame and curly locks can rock a t-shirt, but still manage to suit up and look dashing as hell. Or he could just wear nothing at all.
- He’s got that punk rock sensibility without the bullocks. Finding yourself with him on the couch, drinking PBR, finding you’re both so politically jaded before passionately making out to a Black Flag or Bruce Springsteen record (oh, and he can cover the Boss flawlessly by the way) would be a very wonderful place to be.
I love Frank Turner. A LOT.
they clearly forgot to mention his humbleness. seriously, the guy is the humblest fucker around.
Frank Turner is so hot that I happily forgive him for being wrong on the internet!
FRANK TURNER IS WEARING A HELVETICA SHIRT WHICH ONLY INCREASES HIS ALREADY-IMPRESSIVE HOTNESS.
I want your handwriting.
Have you ever considered how strange it is that handwriting fonts have come to convey a kind of folksy authenticity in the design lexicon of our age? It’s disingenuous. Handwriting fonts - especially the ones you see everywhere (Comic Sans, Papyrus, Lucida Handwriting) - are mechanically reproduced and manipulated into a kind of cloying, fake, plastic perfection.
Penmanship is mostly a lost art - it is (rightfully) taught less and less in school, and the opportunities for people to see your handwriting are few and far between. As a result, modern handwriting looks really cool. What’s authentic and charming and inviting about real handwriting are the little imperfections that prove it came from a real person.
SO - I have decided to become a collector of handwriting.
Here’s how it works:
- You reblog this or email/Facebook me
- I’ll arrange for you to pick up a template
- You’ll fill it out
- I will create a TrueType font from your handwriting and send it to you
As I collect handwriting, I will periodically post things rendered in the handwriting of the donor - things they have taught me, important aspects of our relationship, jokes they have told me… we’ll see.
Please donate today.
Awesome.
I love my handwriting font! It’s oddly soothing to type with.
so cool.
“I mean, we all know that major labels are supposed to be venal masters of hiding money from artists, but they’re also supposed to be good at it, right? This figure wasn’t insulting because it was so small, it was insulting because it was so stupid.”

This is probably “too skinny” for some folks, but I love the way her bones appear to ripple beneath her skin like river water. It’s gorgeous.
