An anachronistic print by British artist and calligrapher Seb Lester featuring an intricate metallic gold letter ’S’ rendered on black paper, comprised of hundreds of symbols including cave paintings, hieroglyphs, emojis and corporate logos from prehistory to modern times via the Dark Ages and Renaissance. Lester tells Colossal:
I have spent two decades studying the most beautiful examples of intricate letterform and ornamental design I can find. This letter ‘S’ is arguably the most intricate letterform that has ever been drawn.
Fair enough.
