I came home last night not feeling well and had a crappy day. Waiting at my door was a "panel" shaped box. "Cool, my panel from Michael Boone showed up!" (I knew it was on it's way). I looked down at the label and saw it was from Mike Languein instead!
I hurried in and opened it up and this is what Mike made for me. (The pictures just don't do it justice. Every time I look at it, I notice something new)
Mike and I kinda got off on the wrong foot at the beginning of this panel swap. He had made a comment that I took offense at and I made some snide remark back at him. At the time, I didn't know Mike or understand his humour. Since that, we have exchanged many e-mails and I completely misjudged his character. He's an extremely talented sign-painter and his humour and wit is unmatched.
Thanks so much Mike! I hope I can pay you back some day. Posted by cheryl nordby (Member # 1100) on :

That is just TOO cool. I like everthing about it. The colours, the textures, the layout, the effects.
I would really appreciate even a brief run-down on how it was done.
LOVE it! Nettie
(I dug the other panel he did for the actual swap too.)

What does the small print say Terry

Does that mean if I get Michael mad at me he will send me a panel?

Ryan, the small black lettering reads "1st Letterville Panel Swap 2003 Mike Languein".
I don't think the pictures really show it but the flecks and streaks above the "Y" are acually gold leaf. Mixed with the marbling, it's a really cool effect.
Still smiling! Posted by Peter Schuttinga (Member # 2821) on :
Mike, what a cool looking panel. Certainly not a 'Lenny' original eh? Terry, you are one lucky recipient. You are also a well deserving recipient, as for all your efforts on the panel swap have not gone unnoticed. Posted by Kelly Thorson (Member # 2958) on :
Terry - You soooo deserve that! I want in on the next panel swap! I hope there is another one.
