back in the day
Awhile back I posted this and every once awhile when I get a moment I make another character. Today I’m adding “O” to the set. Enjoy!

seems alot like the letters that mm did for prada? nice though.
funny. the m/m pradalphabet reminded me of erik’s HECK post from last year. maybe the parisians and erik were inspired by the same illustration book.
[...] inside the letterforms are playful and random, kinda feels like an odditorium—he’s added a couple more characters over the last two days as well. [...]
Really nice stuff, great style.
There’s nothing original about what M/M did for Prada. There are tons of antique illustration books with such concept (objects making a letter). But it is authentic how M/M or Marinovich here have done it.
Google “Jim Jarmusch nothing is original ” and get rid of the original/not original mentality. All art is derivative.
Could you make one of those letter things in the form of an anchor with musical instruments in the middle?????
Would this be able to be made in the shape of an anchor but filled with musical instruments? I would seriously pay for something like that!
