    On a lighter note. Just completed this last week, customer wanted something classy as in a very nice village.

    Crits always welcome although will be surprised if there are any

    Would you get your nails done here ladies 😮

    All hand lettered in forest green Dulux vinyl silk Jill 😀
    No pounce required, I went straight in there and gave it my best shot.

    I wore my 3” wide sable brush out,working on the ‘T’ in beauty so had to use the 2” for the rest, hence the slight irregularity in the letters towards the end.

    Martin lovely work as usuall, hope you will go to the next letterhead meet, and hold a workshop in traditional methods. It even looks better than some of the original cave drawings I have seen.

    Thanks for all the kind comments. 😀

    Will try and make the next letterheads meet Peter but the diary is getting full up fast, picking up a lot of traditional work after people seeing me work on this.

    ..

    seriously, I nearly crashed the car when I saw this. Could be the worst business sign I have ever seen.

    A beauty shop aswell where it’s all about image 😮 incredible

    Oh, how people value their businesses 😉

    I’m surprised it doesn’t say "New York – Paris – Peckham" underneath.

    Ah , why’d you mention that!!!!…my twitching has started again!!!!
    Gonna end up signwriting like Martin!!!!!! 😮 😮

    We used to use a coachliner from Armagh to do special jobs as its a seperate skill to signwriting. Every morning before he started a truck he would empty the contents of a naggin of whiskey before he started and then pull the sweetest straight lines you ever seen around the panels of the truck! 😀

    I cannot see England losing another game but as for the rest it is indeed out of our hands 😕

    in fact i will have a small wager of 1 pint that we beat you at Twickers

    payable at the sign show 😀

    make that a pint and a fag and you’re on! 😮
    If O’Sullivan plays Geordan Murphy were he so obviously should and Paul O’Connell gets back to full fitness….look out!

    Remember France are vulnerable at the minute because they are looking to the next world cup……..like we should be doing. A 19 year old number 8, a 19 year old scrummie and a 20 year old flyhalf? I wouldnt be reading to much in to the victory…………..although I did notice a certain clinical resolve returning to the English team.
