Alissandra Seelaus - Lettering Artist & Illustrator, Denver

Alissandra Seelaus is the go-to artist for beautifully crafted, expressive lettering that explodes off the page – or screen – astounding viewers and pulling them into the project’s narrative. Based in Denver, Alissandra amazes clients with her attention to detail, typographic knowledge and polished, on-time delivery of original artworks.

With a BFA in Illustration from the Maryland Institute College of Art, Alissandra teaches art alongside her thriving career in illustration. It’s something that gives her extra insight into her own practice and helps her evolve her techniques and explore new areas. She’s a font fiend, taking inspiration from letters and numerals, decorative ampersands, script fonts, swashes, ligatures, woodcut, letterpress, slab serifs… you name it. Her wider influences include the Rocky Mountains, Dutch landscape paintings, vintage National Parks posters and humorous wordplay, which feeds into her designs.

Approach

‘More is more’ is Alissandra’s motto, and rigorously works her compositions, fitting the words together like a puzzle, along with rich textures and decorative elements, filling negative space with positive creativity. With a background in traditional media, today she works with Procreate, Photoshop and Illustrator.
