Description
This image all started off as a drawing where I printed out the alphabet in the Georgia typeface, I then picked letters that I liked and drew around them. You can see the orginal here: [link] The drawing was tehn vectored in illustrator, and finnished off in Photoshop.This was just going to be black and white, but I started playing around with some colour ad I quite liked it.
The style of drawing around/over typefaces is inspired by an designer called 'si scott', i'd link his site if I could find it. I was also inpisred to do this kind of drawing after seeing one of digitalshock's works. [link]

I still dig the b/w one more. This stuff you've been doing recently is really inspirational to me. Thank you.

indeed very reminiscent of the cuy doing the casio adverts ect while its very nice it strikes me a very "one trick pony" style. But as usual a great sense of compostion and style though i think i prefer the B&W version

I have the same thoughts about his style too, so right now im trying to think of ways I could move it forward in a different direction. Thanks for the comment

He lives!
Sick work; very lively and energetic, yet so... dark. That gaussian blur tops it off though.
I'm digging this. A lot.
