Description

A little experiment of fusing typography and illustration, an idea it occured to me some time ago... used some old drawings and most of my typography compositions for the background, and two new ones for the figures.

I must say I'm not quite happy with the painting as it is right now, but I really don't want to continue it cuz I was starting to hate it...

Still it was good practice and a nice way to start experimenting with this idea.

Great.

I wouldn't notice typography if You didn't write about it. And once i noticed it i started to look closer and closer and it seems that whole background (or most of it) is built from text? Awesome!

I also like the characters and colors.

-- edit --
Larger version is a "must see" thing. Contains even more text

ahwayakchih: Yes, at least the structure of the background (and the foreground, excluding the figures) is built from typography. Like I said, I'm experimenting with that recently, glad you liked the idea

Thanks to everyone!
