Chicago-based illustrator Alex Solis teaches us American Sign Language with the help of charming and colorful drawings. Combining photography and his cartoonish style, Solis adds small critters to pictures of hands that form different letters of the sign language alphabet. The animals playfully interact with each hand that corresponds with the first letter of their name.
Solis’ imaginative drawings feature octopuses, zebras, unicorns, and many more. They cling to fingers, sleep on top of them, and rest inside palms. The octopus even wraps its tentacles around the entire hand! Thanks to the illustrator’s wonderful character design, he’s produced unforgettable creatures to associate with the signed letters.
This adorable series is now a book titled Signs and Doodles. It’s available to buy through Solis’ Big Cartel shop.
