All About Art of Words
As the Art of Words Mission Statement says:
Finding great gifts is hard. We create breathtaking word art illustrations of legendary sports, music, and historic moments sure to delight even the most difficult person to buy for.
Why should you be giving word art from Art of Words?
Because you’re someone who believes giving a gift should be about more than grabbing a gift card and calling it “good enough.”
Because you know the best presents delight and affirm those who receive them, from their very first glimpse of what’s under the wrapping paper.
Because you want the gifts you give to say, “I know you and treasure you for who you are.”
Each piece of word art Dan Duffy creates is as unique and meaningful as the people on your gift list.
Art of Words is wall art that matters for the people who matter to you.
Great Wall Art Does Much More Than Take Up Space
At first glance, a piece by Dan Duffy may look like wall decor you’ve seen before.
An immediately recognizable city skyline. A picture of an iconic sports venue. A portrait of a famous athlete, musician, of one of history’s movers and shakers.
But look again. Look closely.
Cities’ streets, neighborhoods, must-see spots, and time-honored traditions...
Sports heroes’ names, stats, and greatest match-ups...
Musical superstars’ song lyrics, and inspiring leaders’ unforgettable speeches…
These are the words on the lips and in the hearts of the people you care about.
And these are the words Dan transfers to his canvas letter by letter, stroke by stroke, shaping them into scenes of places and faces that stir up special memories, encourage people to pursue what they're passionate about, and leave them feeling excited about life.
As you can see, wall decor from Art of Words does so much more than fill in that blank spot above the couch in the living room or between the bookcases!
Word Art to “Wow” Even the Toughest Gift Recipient
Dan Duffy didn’t set out to become one of the East Coast’s most prolific and accomplished word artists.
As he’ll tell you, “The whole thing started because I wanted to impress a girl!”
That was in 2008. Now, Dan’s girlfriend is his wife, and he’s the full-time word artist who founded and owns Art of Words in Flourtown, Pennsylvania.
When he started Art of Words, Dan was selling his meticulously handwritten pictures of Philadelphia sports stars and landmarks at local craft fairs and holiday markets.
Today, this ever-growing collection of word art features athletes and attractions from cities around the country, as well as celebrated entertainers, presidents, mascots, and more.
Dan writes by hand each original piece, using only words relevant to the subject. Each original takes at least 50 hours to complete. Larger pieces can take up to 200.
All Art of Words prints measure 16 by 20 inches. As an added bonus, Dan signs each print by hand!
Dan has worked with TED Talks, Footlocker, the University of Maryland, NBC Sports, the Philadelphia Flyers, and many other organizations.
Dan and his work have been featured by ESPN, the New York Daily News, USA Today, the Washington Post, and several other media outlets.
Most important, the word art Dan creates is thrilling lucky gift recipients—and thoughtful gift givers like you—around the country and the world.
