I have decided to quit participating in this forum. Since I became disabled a few years ago I have no participation anymore in any sign endeavors. I'd like to thank the people who PM'd me their support and defense of my most recent thread concerning my daughter that was derailed by an...

I was surprised by my daughter stopping by today with macabre makeup on that included a deep, realistic looking bleeding gash on her arm.It was for a photo shoot having to do with girls who cut themselves. I was a bit disturbed by this photo of her murdered... what father wouldn't be? I can't...

It's been awhile since I've seen anyone comment on the font collection developed by our own SteveC. There is a book often recommended to new people in this trade by Mike Stephens that has a tagline reading "the art of eye appeal". Since acquiring Steve's Signfonts collection, I use them almost...

Tomorrow time runs out for us according to the Mayans. Guess we'll be finding out tomorrow if Colin is right or if the Christians will all be strolling into heaven. I hope to have, as the actor on the asteroid in the Bruce Willis movie "Armageddon" said, a good seat picked out to watch it all...

I received a priority mail large envelope today containing a certified check for $4,496 made out to me. The name on the return address, the remitter of the check, and authorized signature are 3 different people. I can' find anything in a scam search on any of them and haven't replied to any...

I have designed a headstock layout for the maker of a handbuilt guitar I recently acquired. I tried cutting a vinyl paint mask for applying it to the guitar but it was too small for the detail to come out crisp enough with hand painting it. If someone could do an EDGE print for me on high...

You fine folks have stood by me thru at least half of my 18 major surgeries over the past 22 years and graciously bailed my family out financially with the most generous outpouring of support I've ever witnessed from total strangers in my life. I've received words of encouragement from literally...

I took the luthier built guitar I acquired this past week over to a luthier to examine for me this weekend (he pronounced it healthy as did its original builder recently). While there, I inquired as to whether he had ever trained anyone in his field, and he said a number of people have come and...

For any of my guitar picking friends... I recently met a man online thru a Skype video call in Toulouse, France. His name is Jim Bruce. He produces a series of blues guitar instructional DVD's. He's a great old guy with a true gift for teaching. If you are interested in learning some advanced...

For a few years I had this Roland workhorse working just fine with Corel. I didn't touch it for a few months and all of a sudden the computer wouldn't communicate with the plotter anymore... it just prints out a line of what looks like an internal code. I've tried every cable configuration...

I am on a guitar related forum. Recently I posted a business card design for my hand lettered signs and pinstriping there. I went on to explain the benefits of musicians having business cards to give to owners of potential venues where the musician might like to play. I offered to design band...

I know I have friends on here who will shoot straight with me, so here goes. My daughter is engaged and her wedding date is still 9 weeks away. For the past 3 or 4 months her fiance has been here EVERY day of the week from just before supper time til around 9pm. We gained another mouth to feed -...

My son told me he was chatting with me on gmail a few days ago and agreed to wire $400 to the Phillipines for me to pay for an online purchase. I ripped him a good one - asked him how he could possibly NOT know he wasn't talking to me. He said the guy was totally convincing. He sent the money...

Man, being friends with Big Al on Facebook gets tiring sometimes. He's started what appears to be his own conservative program on FB. I can't open it up without there being 10 new posts from him in a row - all political comment, sparsely interspersed with recipes and food photos. Can't unfriend...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lZ1Mu78VFM A friend of mine who is a successful Nashville songwriter and blues performer in his own right named Randy Handley recently posted this on Facebook. He said it demonstrates Prince's often overlooked genius. The solo comes at the end of the song but I...

http://villarrealist.com/ I worked with this guy 35 years ago at the second sign company I trained at. He was the designer there and we became good friends. I recently googled him and found out he has been in NYC since '88. He got started by doing paperback book covers illustrating. I'm...

I'm thinking of specializing in this brand of motorcycle. They are so much fun to pinstripe. This one has a shade shifting paint job from orange to deep red as you walk around it. Striping colors are silver metallic, charcoal metallic and black.

I can't believe how incredibly bummed I am that a total stranger to me has died. I guess I just identified with his relationship to his brother - it's how it was for me and my brother who died a few years back. On a recent episode of Swamp People, Mitchell was naming all the ways to prepare gar...

is not your strong suite, eh?" (One of my favorite bob quotes). Two of the people whose vehicles I've recently pinstriped were given business cards to hand out for me. The cards PLAINLY say "traditional hand lettered signs and freehand pinstriping". So in the past few days I've received two...
