I should have taken the time to comment here before. This is as creative as I have seen possibly. I love all of the streetpaint work but this one is just beyond excellent and appealing to all. Inspiring to say the least. Cheers.

Brian - you hit the nail on the head. Some letters were very easy (such as the Q and A) but for some reason letters which I presumed to be easy to find turned out to be the most difficult (the Z) I did go around for 4 months looking all over the place for letters - but it was a labour of love. (I'm thinking now about doing the Alphabet II)

How did you go about compiling this? I would imagine you were in a very strange state of mind going throughout your day thinking "I've gotta find an A, I've gotta find an A, alright good, I've gotta find a B, I've gotta find a B...." It may seem funny but is this how you compiled these photos? You've captured each letter in such a brilliant way!

Brian.

Thank you Ray. I took me about four months, some letters were easier and some were harder. It was a real challenge though.
