I thought I would share these with whoever likes lettering as much as I do. The word Bonkers was bagged because the company said they were a serious company despite their name and the script was to crazy for them. Oh well it was fun lettering.

Lawn Creations and Prince and Portnoi were done for Dan Antonelli. The Prince logo came off looking kinda like a romance novel. That logo was rejected.

The last one was for a lady who is writing a book on her experiences of taking care of a elderly lady. She loved it. 2 out of 4 isnt too bad I guess.

Thanks for looking [Smile]

Very slick and beautiful. Wow. What type of brushes and size did you use for those?

Excellent.
I particularly love the bottom one, but all are top-notch.
I'm wondering the same as Joe.
Love....Jill

Those are so beautiful Charles! As if they have flowed right off a brush, each their own personality!

Thanks Guys!

Shane- You are the Mike Stevens of dimensionally Carved Signs!! I love you work.

Joe- That was the last one I did. You can see the finished logo at http://princeandportnoi.com/

I am not sure who did it. I think it was Dan Antonelli or someone from his staff.

All of the logos were done using different mediums.

The top script was done with a Winsor and Newton series 7 size 6 pointed brush (natural Kolinsky Sable) with Pelican Fountain Pen Ink slightly thinned (Its pretty thin to start with). Lawn Creations and The Prince logo were done with a #2 Pencil. Its kinda weird but I drew the Lawn Creations logo rather large too. The finish size was about 28" long!

On the Glad I did logo I used a Tombow Pen Brush Marker. You have to abusive the tip to get a fatter stroke.

Thanks again for looking!
