This is another fine piece from Jaksta’s birthday paint jam alongside the M32 from a few weeks ago. Another artist who I watched at work, but didn’t get to chat with and who I don’t know well at all is TLB and his fine DNTS (ANTS as corrected by Paul H) letters.

This is a classy piece of writing with only one small blip, which is the thin yellow paint, and I blame the manufacturers for that. Yellows and Oranges are often thin, and even the best artists can’t remedy that. The letter shapes are very pleasing and the themed green/yellow fills done nicely, a cream and black drop shadow adds some variation. The whole thing is set on a red burst background (the red paint is also a little thin). Great work.
