"In a daily ritual since 2008, I listen in and translate exact-quote fragments of overheard conversations into ink-on-paper drawings, using black-and-white typography and illustration, to produce grayscale conversations between people who have never met or exchanged words. ... This book contains 108 drawings, spanning 10 years and selected from over 5,000 drawings within the ongoing 'You Look Like the Right Type' archive." -- Page [3].
The artist's ongoing blog project 'You Look Like the Right Type', in which he transcribes and illustrates an overheard comment each day, is located at the URL link below.
