Watching Pierre letter is mesmorizing. A small critique of your video Pierre, if I may, the background noise is very distracting to the mood, in your next one try replacing it with some musical sound track.
Your gift to me is still my all time favourite "Letterhead panel" and it hangs above my desk in my office where it reminds me of both my father and a charming friend. Here it is, all framed up in an 18"x24". The picture doesn't come close to doing it justice and everyone takes the time to read it and comment and then I have to explain that I didn't do it, cause somebody never signed it.

Pierre is on his way, getting better all the time. I would like to know just what you used to do the lettering. It looks different from anything I've seen. Does a beautiful job of following it's master. Bill

Very excellent... For a better view, remember (depending on your computer) to press Ctrl Alt and the down arrow.

As always, great work. I'm still amazed at your signature on my sign kit - 1/8" high name with shadow and outline. You are the master.........

I finally got a chance to take a look at the videos. It blows my mind that something so beautiful can be made so quickly when the right person's hand is holding the brush.
Pierre, what kind of pen are you using in the videos?
My mind wanders. And that's not a good thing, 'cause it's too small to be out there alone. Posts: 3129 | From: Tooele, UT | Registered: Mar 2005

The pen used is the infamous Pentel Brush Pen. This pen is mostly made for chinese calligraphy but I found that this is one of the greatest lettering practice tool available. Probably the best way to get yours fast is to give Marj a call at Canadian Signcrafters Supply 1-800-663-9753 or I will bring a bunch at the boot camp at Donalds in SC this coming january.
Stay tuned for more on you tube soon!
Life is so good!
