THE YEAR IN CUSTOM LETTERS, 2009.
Appreciation for the people making Custom Letters. Inspiration for everyone else. A whole lot of great work.
Wednesday, we'll pick a Top 10.
Thursday, we'll have a feature/interview with the Person of the Year.
Friday, we'll reboot a project that began as a Flickr group, an A-Z thing called AlphaBattle, started last year by Drout 750.
Thanks to everyone who submitted. Feel free to email (lettercult a+ gmail.com) if we've omitted something. The LetterMakers page will be updated with more than 100 new links on Wednesday.
Enjoy! nom nom nom.
