Betype’s Against Cancer.

As may of you know, some weeks ago I said to you that my mom was diagnosted with Uterine Cancer in stage 3, so I made anIndiegogo campaign to help her with her treatment. 

I want to thank you to you all that have been sent me kind message and supporting my cause with donations. 

I made this poster to promote my campaign, some people take the joke as black humor. That, of course, isn’t my intention I just want to capture the attention of the young people that aren’t aware of Cancer by making a contrast of concepts, sometimes we are pissed off by little things as a dropped ice cream, youtube restrictions, low battery no your phone but if you stop and think how many people have hard problems in the world like the cancer you will think twice. Is like a merge of funny simple things (like your cookie doesn’t fit on your glass of milk) with a real serious problem, is far more easy to capture your attention with a simple and cute icon of a funny thing than showing a photograph of a woman dying from cancer or the word in all caps: CANCER. 

My real goal is pass the goal of $5k lot of people says that $5k isn’t enough for a whole threatment of Cancer so I really hope to pass that goal with your help.

If you want to help you can make a donation here:
betype.co/cancer

or you can share this post and spread the wor. Or share the original post:

I’ll make this poster available in limited printed letterpress version as a perk for a $50 donations!. I will give you details very soon.

Again thank to all the people who are supporting my cause.

The Making Of: @DannyHess Surfboards

The Making Of… Know any other Instagrammers doing something unique with their hands? Send us a note through Tumblr.

At the very west end of San Francisco, where the city meets the Pacific Ocean, Danny Hess (@dannyhess) makes custom surfboards, skateboards, and handplanes. Like the ancient Polynesians who invented surfing, Danny’s boards are made out of wood, which is uncommon for surfboards made today.

“Salvaged and responsibly harvested wood is by far the best material for engineering a light, responsive, and durable board,” Danny says. “I build these to last. My goal has always been to build a beautiful, functional board that you never have to replace.”

You can get a peek at the process of hand-shaping a wooden surfboard on Danny’s Instagram account, @dannyhess, and be sure to check out more of Danny’s work on his website: hesssurfboards.com.
