Why this project?

Since Typography Day 2011, I was fascinated by typography and typedesign. Hanif Kureshi in his presentation said that he was looking for people to work with for handpaintedtype.com. I was also fascinated by the idea of preserving the local street painter art, so that the local painters would benefit from this project and their art would not die out. Also, the type of result in Type Design that had been done before this same subject, were of my liking and I would love to go into the complexities of type design.
