Paint the Stars – Candy Lettering

Dave from the sarcastically playful clothing brand Paint the Stars (from the UK) hired me to work my magic on a few new tees for him (summer 2008). He’d seen my candy lettering style and asked for it by name hoping I could adapt the look for his brand. He wasn’t just asking for it because it looked cool. He knew the style already fit his fun loving aesthetic.

This was more challenging that the other “candy” lettering jobs I had done (Fergie, Funkrush) simply because there were more words! He was pretty satisfied with the final result as he printed stickers and even used it as their primary header graphic for their online store.  Some may say it’s difficult to read, but that’s kind of the point.  It’s definitely got a graffiti influence, although I’d never consider myself a graffiti artist.
