Sounds like a joke coming, but it's not. Take a look:

Amazing, Dennis! I don't guess man has too many limitations, if we can get our mind wrapped around what we're wanting to accomplish....and are willing to do the work to succeed at it.

If you've ever tried to actually do this type of penmanship, you'll see that it's rather difficult to execute, even if you've got good hands. Takes awhile to get it "right".

Dennis,
I looked over all the artists listed on the page and
noticed quite a few studied in Quincy Illinois, not far from where I grew up. It seams many of them were into drawing birds.

And when I was an apprentice sign writer, my mentor kept using the phrase "spencerian script", though never explaining what that was, exactly.
Now, by viewing that web page and seeing that several Spencers were mentioned, now I get it.

Thanks for posting this
