Illustration
Meet Aaron Horkey. Artist? Illustrator? Typographer?
I don't have a clue about the subject matter here but Aaron Horkey's illustrations and hand-lettered word groupings are fabulous.
BTW, anyone know of an official term for the assembly of individual words into a composition—the process of putting together the pieces of the puzzle? Seems as if there should be a term for it other than "word grouping."

I think the term is "typograph" when the words become 'art' or a graphic composite. Combining words with things becomes assemblage (with an accent on the 'e')
This guy's work is spectacular -- work that is not accomplished quickly or easily like so much of the other word now bantered on the web.
I recently saw one of these "25 greatest designs" blogs, where the people just pilfer off other sites, and NONE of the designs would take over an hour to complete.
Horkey's work takes many hours, possibly days to complete.
BRAVO
