Kayce Lomas Typography

Artist Kayce Lomas has created a great little patterned typography that we adore. Each letter shows wonderful pattern detail sometimes inspired by an animal or just a random doodle. The B, P, and O would look quite nice together in some sort of arrangement with this typography, don't you think?

Let us know your favorite letters with this typography and view additional works below and on Flickr.
