Art of Words is the creation of Philadelphia word artist Dan Duffy. By meticulously handwriting relevant words, he creates stunning images of iconic people, places and moments in history. These unique, affordable illustrations make the perfect gift, sparking memories and capturing the hearts of recipients. With city skylines, sports, history and musicians to choose from, there’s a piece for everyone!
"The whole thing started because I wanted to impress a girl"
In 2008 Dan wrote out every game from the Philadelphia Phillies championship season to try to impress his girlfriend. They took it to the streets and sold copies while tailgating down at Citizens Bank Park in the K lot. Fast forward to today, and that girlfriend Jess is his wife and they have 2 kids together - the word art concept stuck and Dan brought Art of Words to fruition!
Dan handwrites each original piece, using words relevant to the subject. Each original takes 50 to 200 hours to complete. All prints are 16" x 20" and Dan hand signs every print!
Art of Words has been featured in the New York Daily News, USA Today, The Washington Post, ESPN, Good Morning America, The Today Show and more!
