I’m amazed. That’s it, I’m on a mission to pick up some brushes and give hand lettering a try. I’ve researched all my old sign magazines to find out what I should purchase. I don’t know if you get this magazine over there, but “Sign Business” has just started a monthly article on Hand lettering basics http://www.signbusinessmag.com if anyone is interested. Thanks for posting your work Brian.

When posting two pictures, upload the one you want on the bottom first and it will go in the right order. Took me a while to figure that one out. 😀
You should post the other one here as well so no one misses it.

quote signs elite:

well its basic ….

brian at least you put the time in to gold leaf it 😛 and copy the original style 😀 on the subject of the red vinyl…still never found out.. 😮 i like to help other sign folk out (even locally) but would rather they just said who they were instead of making up fairy tales to get what they wanted 😀 (they are probably reading this know) hi :yeeha: 😉

Classic stuff Brian, well done mate.

….. finally found the answer to that question on the Rum too mate. It should be fine, although probably a little stronger when you finally open the bottle. *drink*

Keep it out of the sun and you should still have a nice drop in a few years.

Cheers

I never wait long enuff to gild & mine always looks icky.
The article you mentioned is a good one, Marek.
I’ll teach you how to screw up hand lettering IN PERSON

(maybe someone there will teach you the right techniques)
