Lettering artwork by Luke Smile for Southend City Jam 2023.

A few years back, before he was a street artist, an old pal and Luke Smile were talking about a well known artist who painted letters. The conversation was finished with his friend concluding: "It's just words though... "

This is something that stuck with the artist, because in his opinion, lettering art can be so much more than "just words". Typography can tell a story by literally spelling it out but it also has the power to change your mood and impact your day for the better!
