    My buddy Larry Fator of Quicksilver did this recently at his shop in San Dimas (clik to enlarge). Pretty bad ***, right?

    That's what I'm talking about,craftsmanship!

    You can teach a Monkey how to use a computer and generate graphics but a true sign painter is a rare commodity today,,it takes years to learn the craft and this works shows that dedication. HRP

    He clearly possess mastery of the typeface. It's beautiful, especially the gold leaf.
