Prospective Typography project?

Can you tell the stripes are actually letters? Check out the rest of the Twenty-Six Types of Animals at http://www.jeremypettis.com/

I was looking for inspiration on typography and I ran into a site called "Drawn!" which is a multi-author blog devoted to illustration, art, cartooning and drawing.

"Its purpose is to inspire creativity by sharing links and resources. Albert Einstein said, “The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources,” but what the hell did he know anyway?"

It's a really great source of professional designers, illustrators, and cartoonists. They have a large archive of typographic work. The image above was done by Jeremy Pettis and it's called Twenty-six Types of Animals. Maybe we should do something like this for our typography class (*ahem*jimmy).

I really like and enjoy the web link that you posted and find other interesting video about a kid doing calligraphy. By the way, the photo you posted, it's interesting too, if you look at a distance, the "Z" will come out and is easy to recognize. And there are all crazy typography in that "Twenty-Six Types of Animals".
