The alphabet never looked better. And that’s because French artist Jerome Corgier styles his ABC’s with a twist. Jerome creates custom 3-D letters by layering colored paper in different graphic patterns. Each letter is a unique object. Check out what this talented artist has to say in his 10 ANSWERS below.

Sculptural paper typography.

Wow, so lot of people… My engines are my ex-teachers Cathy Beauvallet and Celine Chrétien. My inspirations at this moment are Ansel Adams, Paul Cox, Saul Steinberg, and Michel Bouvet…

Sleep? or Sleep!

I don’t use websites for inspiration. It’s much for knowing what happen on the web. I’m more inspired by artist’s books.
10. When do you consider a piece of your work complete?
Aie aie aie, it’s never finished. My work is always a way to continue again and again; and one piece (one letter in the context of design) is just one step after the next.
