An Apocalyptic Alphabet
May 1, 2012Here are a couple of pages of my initial letters. As I have said before I was exploring the use of words around the trees, selecting words primarily on a gloomy and pessimistic theme. In the first ones the lettering is a fairly standard heavy font. In subsequent examples I started to use lettering that is intended to be recognisable. These two are almost finished. A little tidying up is needed, and replacing of the words at the top, with APOCALYPTIC ALPHABET, I think.
Once again, if you click on the image then zoom in you get a version as seen through a magnifying glass. Really quite interesting.
Your crosshatching is amazing.
Thanks. They do take some time to do, in peace and quiet with no distractions.
These are amazing – have you approached a gallery yet Martyn?
