ART YOU CAN READ

Look closer.
The entire picture
is made of words.

Curtis researches each subject, then hand-draws the words and facts that tell its story—one letter at a time—until the words become the image.

A GIFT THAT SAYS “I KNOW YOU”

Choose what already
means something to them.

From a distance, they’ll see the cardinal they love. Up close, they’ll find words like “Loved One Near” and “Spiritual Messenger” woven into the picture itself.

It isn’t simply something beautiful to unwrap. It is a story they will keep discovering.

HOW A STORY BECOMES A PICTURE

One letter at a time.
Until there’s an image.

Curtis begins by researching the subject—its history, character, surprising details and the words people connect with it most.

Then he draws every letter individually and places each word with intention. Some pieces contain more than 200 words; others took 60 hours to complete.

The result is part artwork, part story, part puzzle—and always a conversation waiting to happen.
