A self portrait created entirely out of font. No manipulations to characters (i.e. un-scaled stretching or cropping). Glyphs and punctuation used. Done in Illustrator CS2.
It's a graceful photo so I chose to use script fonts for the swoops and fine lines.
Fonts Used: Aether Edwardian Script Fleurish Script Hurricane The King & Queen Lorrene Mutlu Ornamental Scriptina Yves Script Zapfino

Yay! my very own DD! My first on this account! I want to thank all of you who have stopped by to take a closer look and have shown your support with kind words and your favorites. I very genuinely appreciate it from the bottom of my heart. Big thanks especially to `Sander-Seto & ^PurpelBlur as they were instrumental in this works sudden exposure.

Oh wow. Beautiful. I suppose you used parentheses for the face. I showed this to my brother (who's a total font geek) and he gave an offhand "yeah cool" and then I told him how you made it and he grabbed my laptop to take a closer look and all he could say was "cooooool". So yeah. It's cool. =]
