    nice brushwork aj, i don’t like algerian though – i used to write firkin pubs, they use it all the time. i would have done vivara a bit smaller, great stuff mate, are you "straight off the brush" or computer layout?

    I do not have the eye of an artist, but I do of a every day punter and it looks good to me.

    John the script is English presto.

    The customer already had cards made out in Algerian. Its not a bad style really.

    I either draw out the letters in stabilo first or I use a paper drawing to chalk out. It depends on the job! ๐Ÿ˜€

    Nice sign, you’ve made an old style alphabet look modern.

    hi aj,

    like the work! algerian is used alot in germany. often by persian businesses in germany. i dont think it suits everything tho, but i do find youยดve put it to good use! it looks classier with the black store front! nice and minimalistic.

    you have a good eye for your work! seeing your work is always a pleasure.

    AJ you probably wouldn’t like me because I couldn’t paint even if my life depended on it, I would be lost without the sticky back plastic stuff !!!

    Have often wished I could do traditional sign writing though and have a lot of respect for those that can, bit to old now for me to start learning something like that now.
