"The Alphabet People" is part of what may be the first artwork in history to show the relationship between our bodies and both the upper and lower case letter shapes.  The original drawings of "The Alphabet People" used dark brown bodies and lighter colored radiant fill faces, because I felt that most of the people who were creating words originally probably had brown skin and the lighter colored faces made it easier to show facial expressions.  Also, this seemed to me to be more universal people wise.  This later version shows a further attempt to give all people credit for creating and using our language, by trying to show people of all colors.  You can click here to see another version of "The Alphabet People" entitled "The New Alphabet" which was created for "The New Alphabet" website.
