Thanks for the great welcome folks.

There are no pics from the movie "Big Fish" on my website.
I had to sign a confidentiality form for Sony Pictures. (No cameras allowed in the production area.)

Holy Crap!!

Hi Mark!!

Really good to see you here! Wow! I can't believe it! I've admired your work for years in several publications. An old sign friend, Mark Otis, told me of you once in a conversation at a Letterhead's event in Denver a long time ago. So, SO glad to see another super pro letter man on board to join the ranks.

Okay, you digital "nay sayers" of hand lettering......look at this man's work and tell me it's not some of the best stuff you've ever seen. This guy is an absolute master at the craft of signs!

:U Rock:

[Mark Fair]

Thanks Guys.

To Geary...
I ain't nothin' special! LOL
My buddy Mike Meyer makes me look like a beginner.

Mark Otis said something about me? Wow!!
If it is the same Mark Otis(one of the original letterheads) then that is a compliment, I have been a big fan of his work for many years!

Doug, I am slowly creating a market for the edge, so far so good.

Good to see some old faces here.

thanks again folks.

Thank you for that step by step Mark! Love to see old talent at work. Great advice on the paints you use and the carbon trace. Our 15 year old son started painting with acrylics and he has raw natural talent,but because he is a teenager he gets embarrassed by praise,[hides his work from friends].I'm going to show him this post and explain to him that real men paint and make a living from there artistic talents.Thanks for sharing!!

Mark, didja ever know Bill Neff? He too worked exclusively in movies towards end of his life. First was Cruise movie, I think it was called Fourth of July, last one before he passed was was that one with George Clooney as a prison escapee in the south who recorded a hit record - can't think of name of it. Bill used to put his friend's names on window signs.
