Rod,

Those look awesome. Get yourself a pretzel and a beer for a job well done!

Have a great one!

Nicely Done!!

Everyone should have samples like that in their shop.

How about a "Step-By-Step" of how you did some of these effects?! [Smile]

WOW!! I can't believe the possibilities of airbrushing! It totally amazes me!

I think I should turn mine in at the door.

The only "effects" I do are fades and blends. Can someone (ticks) show some step-by-steps on just simple highlighting and effect techniques?? I've searched on the net, but the only thing I find is illustration-type airbrushing.

I'm just looking for simple effects, like those star highlight thingies, shadowing, beveling, etc.

Anyone????

Cool stuff Rod!!!!

Great way to show what you can do with many different styles!!! This is a great reminder that we all need to have something like that in our own shops if we already don't......

Thanks for showing!!!!

You are so right Jim! If the client drops his jaw when he gets in the door, the wallet is soon to follow.

Thank you Tickerman, for the heads up!

Pat King has a great display room set up, wish he'd take a few pics, hehehe!

Hey Rod,
now those are "nice". and what a great way to show the nitty gritty of lettering, this is the essence of what it's all about. Impressive! Yes, let me know if you need any grunt and apprentice labor! seriously. Deb

Those panels are really something. They remind me of the stoke I felt at my first trade show in my second years doing signs, I was so amazed at all the great stuff the future held. I realize now that 10 years later the "bar" has continually risen & I feel as inspired as ever by how much there is to learn if I apply myself.
