inspired ABC's

one of the illustrators i have in my blog list is paul thurlby...hes a UK illustrator that i found through some design surfing...his work is very cool and i was particularly interested in his alphabet...it inspired me to start my own alphabet as an exercise...ive made it a bit tough on myself using shorter words and trying to incorporate the letter itself differently into the illustration; for instance, how do i make the hand look like a "G" and not something too distorted...im using a particular font as my base for each of the letters as well...thanks for the inspiration paul!
