Marian Bantjes is a graphic designer from Canada. She is known for increadibly detailed and ornate flourishes and typography.

Stefan Sagmeister has called her "one of the most innovative typographers working today," but she calls herself a graphic artist.

This is a piece done in sugar for Sagmeister. I have no idea how you make sugar do that, but she also does it with glitter.

Also for Sagmeister. Part of a series that writes the maxim "Complaining is silly. Either act or forget" across six 11' × 11' billboards in Bregenz dialect.

She is proud to be Canadian, and used all Canadian fonts in this poster! Some bits of text we written with flies and ladybugs. So clever, and looks so perfect.

What I like most about Marian is how proud she is of her work. On her website she writes little details about these projects that give you a glimpse into how she was thinking when presented with these tasks, and how she feels about the overall outcome. She often mentions how proud she is of certain things, and you get the feeling that she truly loves what she does. She is truly an artist.

Hey YR. Thanks for the comment.

It's actually Mr. Edmondson, as his first and middle initials are G and R.

His first name isn't Gred.
