Botts is noted for the great diversity of "hands" (a technical term for different styles or fonts of calligraphy) he has mastered. For example, the cover of his book "Doorposts" has the title displayed with each letter in a different hand, giving a demonstration of 9 different hands just on the cover. He has a preference for illustrating biblical quotations as decorative and inspirational pieces and has published several books of such works. However, he has done other projects, for example, a poster for a business group promoting quality and productivity, again doing each quote in a different hand.
