We’re starting today off with something a little different – this very cool alphabet installation that designer Jason Gomez created for his daughter’s nursery. Jason and his wife didn’t know the gender of their baby, Jason wanted to keep the color palette neutral while incorporating lots of pattern and interesting letter shapes. The result is very cool – and something that his baby girl will enjoy for years to come!
From Jason: This is somewhat a big project for a small person that is now the love of our lives in our new family. I decided to create a custom alphabet painting for our first baby girl Alena to hang in her room. Since we didn’t want to know the gender of our baby until she was born I wanted to keep the colors neutral to work for either a boy or a girl but to keep it bright and fun.
Since I love typography I wanted to showcase various type styles for each letter form along with some simple colorful shapes and patterns. It was a labor of love for me, incorporating various sizes of wood canvases and various types of mediums from house paint to acrylic and paint pens. In the end the overall piece measured up to 67″ wide to 32″ high, a big bold colorful piece for our beautiful little girl.
Thanks Jason!

there are so many wonderful block sets out there, but this one is top notch! i made some blocks several years ago…. but i added illustration & pattern onto old blocks. the type on the blocks was great inspiration. i think they’re from 1910. check them out, here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/fragmented/sets/72157606024276495/with/2766352615/
