Typographic art is surfacing on the Internet left and right, but only Frank Magnotta is utilizing fonts as building blocks for some funky far-out architecture.
An M.F.A. graduate of the University of Illinois, Frank Magnotta is highly skilled at taking letters and tiling them up until unique architectural creations are formed. To top it all off, Frank Magnotta doesn't even make any of these masterpieces with the aid of a computer, as everything is hand-drawn using only a pencil.
