Oz-abet (an Oz Alphabet)


The world of Oz - as originally created by L. Frank Baum with 1900's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz - has inspired countless movies, books, stage productions, comics and so much more. I wanted to play tribute to this massive world with this design.

The Periodic Table of the Muppets

A comprehensive depiction of many memorable Muppet characters from throughout the years (and some not-so-memorable ones as well). Each square represents a different character and indicates the primary Muppeteer(s) for that character, as well as the year and production in which the character made its debut. Borders align with hair/hat colour, background aligns with skin/fur colour, and colour of the abbreviated name represents nose colour (for characters with noses that is). The separate sections are based on the show the characters were either created for or most often associated with. The icons within each section are then organized by year of creation. Tweet

Marvelphabet

I'd long considered doing a superhero-themed alphabet but I'd resisted for a variety of reasons, including the sheer immense scope of the superhero universe and the fact that there were other similar pieces out there. Ultimately, however, superheroes and comics were such an important part of my childhood that I couldn't ignore them. So I added a bit of a challenge: I wanted to represent 26 heroes and 26 villains from a specific universe. I wanted to stick to their face and upper torso only (which meant, among other things, no wheelchair for "X" or extra arms for "o") Introducing.... the Marvelphabet: Also available in straight hero and villain versions:   Have fun guessing who is who.
