The Cutty Spot
Pete Karras’s new venture, The Cutty Spot, turns ABC’s of different shapes and sizes into works of alphabetic art. The New York-based graphic designer makes collage-like creations highlighting one letter at a time, ensuring that no duplicate characters exist within the piece by personally hand cutting and setting each one within the work’s 22 x 30 frame. The end result is a truly unique arrangement of letters and fonts. You can currently request your favorite vowel or consonant creation from Mr. Karras — though if you want the latter you’ll have to show some patience, as each item requires about six weeks production time. Though, that seems like a short wait for a one of a kind work.
