The exhibition looks even better in the flesh than in the photos - with Jonathan Cherry's 'Y' a particular favourite with the folks I've spoken to. Nice!

Ooooh, lovely lovely letter lovelynesses. I love them, those lovely letternesses. But do not love living thousands of kilometres away and thus being rendered unable to go drool covetously in person.

This is very similar to one I saw a couple of years ago and some of the same artists were even in this show. Did you look at this exhibition by any chance, if you didn't I think you might be upset.

@ Howard, it was myself and my girlfriend that did the exhibition, It started as a small project to interpret letters for a separate project that never got underway, as we had completed our letters we decided to see if we could get a few more people to do the remaining letters, we also had a shop at our disposal as an exhibition space for a month, which was also driving factor.

We never expected it to be more that a small exhibition, but some great people seen it and wanted to do letters also. So it gained some traction from there.

We were not aware of the facelift project that happened a few years prior when we started it, and when we did find out we were a little gutted, to be honest. But then other people pointed out around 10 other similar projects. There is even a website that runs an open submission to design letters like this every week.
