This is nice. I don’t know if you know this guy, but he also makes some nice art. He’s in my friends section of myspace and he’s called beaucoupzero. Just saying…
Now all that needs to be done is to make a webapp that takes these alphabet images and lets you fill out a form and returns what you wrote in Sign Language Matchbooks.
Saw this on Frivolous Motion blog. I subscribe to Art Forum and love the underground music and art scene.
This is astonishing. Reminds me of an evangelical tract I saw once, for the blind. It told the gospel/salvation message with objects, like a heart, that communicated with the sense of touch.
That is really clever; honestly.. not many people would have thought of the sign language thing.. The finger, yes. Keep it up.. you have good ideas in that head of yours
Hello,
We are iidea Creativity Design Magzine,and we are interested in Sign Language Matchbooks. Could you give us some high resolution pics(DPI higher than 300)? After we publish the pics about supplied, we will send magzine to you. Waitting for your feedback, and wish you have a good luck.
Reminds me of the Larry the Cable Guy bit, where he says his friend is a deaf guy with Tourette’s. He starts spelling words with ASL and keeps throwing in middle fingers
This would be substantially better without the flipping off matchbook at the end. Seriously, it would be something you could post in classrooms otherwise.
very clever, and as a person who understands BSL not ASL was good in demostrating ASL alphabet, sadly BSL uses 2 hands and matchbook version wouldn’t be possible. vey impressed you had the patience to do it all by hand. Take another photo and sell it to schools for posters!
Oh, great! thanks for the reply, JK. I’ll agree with what Frank said, that these matchbooks are a great idea to show in classrooms. Perhaps the I Love You sign can replace The Bird. whatever works, they’re still great pieces of art. More power!
Hey, wanted to thank you for posting this. I saved it in my bookmarks knowing I could use it someday. My girlfriend and I would finger spell back and forth to each other in school to avoid getting in trouble with teachers for talking. For valentines day I made bought matchbooks on ebay and made her a poster by making the letters and scanning them. It turned out awesome and I thank you for your inspiration. 300dpi blows up very nicely to make giant posters!

I discovered your Youtube channel almost a year ago. Then noticed you finally had some new videos. They’re very cool. Great job
I have this feeling that one of them doesn’t belong … ;->
Very cool!
i am deaf myself and i found this and thought it was awesome!! thanks for doing this!! =D
I.Love.This

By hand. Folding, gluing, holding until dry. Repeat.

genius, i tell you.
Nice addition to the alphabet with the 28th letter!
Your grasp of the English alphabet is staggering.
I can only hope to have such wonderful comments on the site for each and every one of the 367 days in 2008!
lol your clever creations don’t appear to be the only thing that transpires naturally….you have a knack for wisecracks, too. ;]
WOW – this was really clever! I love it! I can’t wait to see more of your work!
Good job!
Fantastic.

I am so impressive this. WOW that is one good creative… And, I sent this to my friends about this. Keep up on your creative amazing things!!:-)

photoshopped
You highly overestimate my abilities using Photoshop. Maybe this photo of the matchbooks taken from another angle will convince you.
This would be substantially better without the flipping off matchbook at the end. Seriously, it would be something you could post in classrooms otherwise.
Might I suggest that you draw a black box over what you find offensive prior to showing your students.
You rock dude. Keep up the creativity. You should write out some ASL sentences (nice ones) : )
cool! Great job with these matchboxes. No “I Love You” sign?
No “I love you” on this page, but it was one of my earlier test matchbooks.
Brilliant use of an everyday object…well done
