More of an artist, David Adrian Smith hand renders all his work, working with glass and gold leaf.
Smith famously designed an album cover for singer John Mayer:

Jessica Hische
Jessica Hische works alot with hand rendered typography, in particular script type. Roxxie and I both liked her use of furniture around type, as well as her use of embossing and foiling.
We liked the use of gold and black, and felt it gave a high end, striking quality to this publication. We intend to use gold ink and screen print / gold foiling, to replicate such an effect.
