I'm a sucker for typography art, but these hand-cut posters by Peter Karras are officially my new favorites. Whereas the Etsy finds we usually feature are small cards or office paper-sized creations, Karras' big boys are 22" x 30".
While all of the letters of the alphabet are for sale, Peter Karras has only photographed the vowel typography posters. Each one takes about six weeks to make, and Karras says that he will only make each letter once. At $500 a pop, when Karras' alphabet is sold, he'll have a pretty sweet chunk of change for his efforts.
