Studio Oscarwas founded in London by Oscar Wilson in 1996. Specializing in image creation and hand-crafted typography, Studio Oscar produces work for a wide variety of clients, with commissions from advertising, fashion, publishing, retail design, film and TV. They're featured here because of their amazing illustrations shaped by letters, a trend we've seen a lot out there. http://www.studiooscar.com/docs/work.php
This dude is insane! He "works with words" as he says himself. He is into philosophy, poems, writing and handlettering. What caught my attention was this project he did for danny's continental cocktail lounge , where all the walls are covered with not just words, but full paragraphs.
Job Wouters is a designer from The Netherlands who loves letters, illustrates with letters, and is obviously having a great time doing it. Here's a description of the artist by an artist friend of his...
He is cuckoo about letters, he loves them, so far is certain. He is also one of those fellows who can read a chunky novel in a couple of hours, but that's a different story. His designs are transparent, leaving room to breathe. Them letters got things to say, they are so clear it tickles your eye and make you blink. What is this colourful craft? Letman's letters are curious. His handmade style fits the boundaries of typography like a universe on itself by lashing out to illustration, grafitti and graphic design. Letters are free entities to him. They are clear and cunning. Together they stand strong.
