I like to think I can spot a natural.... This is a drum head my friend Matt did recently for his band. His layout (hand drawn) and all work was his own I just showed him some tricks with the gold. I hope he will take the opportunity to post some more of his work....
the artist....

Ok, Geet....he did this all or did you help? In any case, it is a cool job. My favorite part is the highlights on the "the"! But what the heck is a bindle stiff? Neato car too. Love....Jill

Ok OK.... time for me to fess up! I only hang around with Matt because I wanna drive his car.
I did lay the size on the letter "E" but only because I was so busy flappin my jaw that the AZ dry heat was curing the size a little fast.
Other than that this young man had full control... no computers no stencils.
with just under a full year at this I'd say he pretty much has a grasp for it.... not to mention a full time job where he gets to use his talent for making signs.
I sure hope all my buddies here at Letterville chime in on this.... If we get to 35 posts maybe he'll let me take the old sled for a spin?!?!
A bindle is the little sachel a bum would carry on a stick over his shoulder and a stiff is a bum... of sorts.

Your man lookn' good for a newbie, his rides cool too! '53 chebby, chopped, nosed, grille molded, headlites sunk, handles removed, decked, cool tail lites, laker pipes, lowered, black-satin. I'd take a spin too...
The layouts alittle stiff don't cha think?
Flapn' the jaw in the heat, man, you live dangerously...watch the lizards, they've been there longer...
Wow, Peach said car w/o the accent...
OK, I'm packing my bindle as we speak, sorta...
This is the eighth post, 27 more...

Matt; so that's what's not right with dashboard, it's not chevy!!! damn! i should've known that one too, drove in one for years...
Yeah! that Geet's a wascal ain't he? Good man, listen up...only thing i found that STOOD right out, was white lines from main copy to shadow. They should all be at same angle through-out entire line. I'd used a airbrushed hi-lite myself. To mention others is to pick, not enough wrong to ruin the good job already done, of course it has room for improvement, but that will come w/practice and time. As one goes along, one "acquires" a style, particular to themselves, reaching this point takes brush time...keep doing it...follow Geet's lead and practice-practice!!!
ONLY 22 POSTS LEFT TILL "RIDES" !!!
