This amazing [collaboration of artists](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/everyone-draw) created 'Le Grand Cirque Des Couleurs,' which is a project to create a [typography using illustration](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orma-chair). The artists have created some pretty amazing works to depict different letters of the alphabet. Some are [graffiti-inspired](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1664-x-andre-saraiva), while others use photography to illustrate their letters.

'Le Grand Cirque Des Couleurs' is very unique, and it's fun to figure out which letter each image represents. My favorite typographical art piece is the 'S' in the shape of a twisted tree with skulls. Amazingly creative!
