    Nice work Tim, thanks for taking the time to upload your work mate…

    I attended a letterheads meet years back hosted by one of my friends Stewart McLaren over 3 days. had a great time and tried my hand at sign writing… even bought all my own brushes, three piece aluminium mahl stick etc well after one sign i chucked the towel in. not easy to do and i can draw and paint, just not signwrite!!!! :lol1:

    there is letterheads meet being run soon in kent hosted by kate belmonte from this website. some of the best known sign writers from around the globe will be attending, worth the visit as its a great few days amongst like minded folk. lots of drinking, live music and a good laugh!

    Can’t believe it’s been so long since that meet.
    I’d like to go to kate’s meet but my passport is expired and I can’t afford the trip just now.

    I think you did a nice job, but I would add a border to that panel just to give it a more finished look. Probably an inset one, the color blue that you used for your shadow.
    Love….Jill
