Prood is a graduate of the [Carnegie Mellon University School of Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3d-knitting-machine1) and holds a BFA in Communication Design. Using watercolors to illuminate lettering, Prood mixes the concrete aspect of [mechanical fontography](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/font-tester) with the artful nature of watercolor paints. The paintings are both interesting and beautiful.
