Hey Mark,
looking good there... did you cut a mask for that lettering, paint, and then distress? I cant imagine handlettering all that copy, and matching those LHF fonts. If so, you did a remarkable job!

thanks guys.
nope robb, i must admit i cut a mask and used latex paint. this stuff ain't work, it's just plain fun!
