Something that I have always enjoyed most about typography is one's ability to manipulate typeface in order to create a magnificent piece of work. I had happened to stumble upon these two specific pieces (and many other wonderful works) a while back (although how long ago it was, I'm not quite so sure anymore), and very recently (this past Tuesday, to be exact) I found them again. Like many others before me, I was amused, but astonishment soon followed.
What I particularly enjoyed most in the first piece, Suicide Letter, is how the artist created--and I use this word loosely--an object by utilizing words. For example, take a look at the second image where the letter "n" is jumping off a building. The building isn't really a building, but words that create this image in our minds.
In the second piece, Mug Shot Posters, the artist uses three different typefaces and creates figures out of them. Upon first glance, one might not notice the type right away, but once you do you might find yourself amazed, fascinated and what not. I thought this particular one to be endearing and incredibly creative.
