Very nice, Pierre,

Yea, and no dongle required, no crashing and, well the feeling of satisfaction is unmatched by anything the computer can do!
I could watch Pierre do this all day Posted by Duncan Wilkie (Member # 132) on :
Great job Pierre. Inspiring!

The moral of the story, Pierre has those lettering boot camps we should all attend!
Lets all bring "ART" back in this trade like it was meant to be.
Great stuff Pierre, I can smell the coffee from here !

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.........

Great Post Pierre, and Thanks... Here I am a Handletterer from days gone by and still love to see this work done.

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?
Posted by Nancie W. Phillips (Member # 3484) on :
That is so fascinating... I So wanna be in Laurens, S.C. next month to take your workshop!
Posted by Pierre Tardif (Member # 3229) on :
Thanks!
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.
