'G' is for Gummy

Since I'm on a kick of illustrating type, I thought I'd share the process of something I did complete over the past few months. Although it was made awhile ago, I still think it's worth posting.

This was a fun project for the Alphalimn exhibit for Phoenix Design Week 2010. I was given the letter 'g' and chose to express it through the medium of gummies — 6 bags worth of gummy bears and worms to be exact. Here's some of the process:

This was my first version, a gothic 'G'.
































The 2nd version of a san-serif 'g' turned out more fun.






















The final version.




























Here is my final version featured in the Alphalimn exhibit at Sitewire in Tempe, AZ.






















I had fun with the process of this project, and if anything, it made me want to experiment more with different or unexpected mediums.

(Big thanks to Paul for helping me!)

    Awesome illustration! Who would of known gummies were perfect for making letters! I was actually in the show as well, I did the old english letter H next to yours
