Wild Hearts, Marbled Color Word Art

The word WILD is written in tall, rounded, hand-drawn letters outlined in thick black. Each letter is filled with swirling, marbled color in blues, yellows, oranges, purples and greens. Several bright blue hearts float around the letters, and the whole design sits on a plain white background.

A stranger scrolling past is stopped by a single plain word, WILD, drawn in tall rounded black-outlined letters and filled with swirling blue, yellow, orange and purple that glows like stained glass. It is a statement piece and a colour piece at once. The word is readable from across the room, and a closer look rewards you with the marbled colour inside each letter. Most word art is flat lettering on a flat background. Here the colour is the subject, and the blue hearts floating around the letters add warmth and humour.
