   Brilliant, was really looking forward to seeing the full piece for this! How you've styled the 'o's is very nicely done – adding the little rounded parts really adds an interesting touch rather than keeping them symmetrical. Of course, the extended lower 'L' stroke is fantastic too.

   Damn, this is great Nick! I think the "A" is my favorite bit from this, that subtle shading the crossbar casts is killer.

    Awesome work, Nick. As others have said, the subtle shading (especially on the A and K) is a great touch.

    Nick Slater's great lettering slightly reshuffled

    by Eva-Lotta Lamm

    Yesterday, I came across Nick's lovely piece of lettering.
    I love the shapes and the styling but I felt the balance was slightly off, with spaces opening up to the right a bit too much. I have been playing around a lot with lettering lately and the overall balance of a piece is the hardest thing to get right for me and I was intrigued to try out how I would solve it.

    I hope you don't mind, Nick, that I had a go at shuffling around your beautiful letters.

    Brilliant Slater - all I can say it keep it up man.

    Makes me want to work hard hard. That's my reaction to most of your work.
