It took a few extra cups of coffee, almost a 100 feet of wax paper, multiple stacks of newspapers, and a hallway scattered with 1000 pt Helvetica letterforms taped from floor to ceiling to complete the Wax Paper Typography project. I originally found inspiration from a childhood memory where we used to transfer newsprint onto silly putty. Its the same idea where the ink is lifted from its original source onto something else. The concept was pushed further by placing the ink back onto blank newsprint to re-create a newspaper. Inside of this newspaper, each page contained 1 of the 26 letterforms. Inside of each letterform there are references to each letter, i.e the letter "f" was filled with the funnies (comic section).
