The Cutty Spot

Posted on December 15, 2008 Under Design

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.
