Well, then ... I'm gonna paint myself a banner over the next few days. Maybe I'll work from an exisiting banner for my inital venture. I'll post my results.

Fine just don't charge yourself as much as a master - unless you feel your worth it!

But this is fun!!! I hope it doesn't lose its charm before I am finished!!!
I found a "Figi Mermaid" picture by a tattoo artist named Keith Ciaramello. I'm using that as a guide for my first banner (who knows ... maybe my ONLY banner!!) How long is this gonna take me, Doug? It's about 3' X 5' |

Would take me a couple of hours...then a couple of days to figure out what I didn't like about it...then a re-paint...couple of days to glare at it...touch up what I found wrong and about 5 minutes to kick it out the door and down the hill.

Douge you forgot the most import instruction:-
Da Capo al fine! (or D.C. al fine). OK so I'm just out to impress Marie! Oh then charge twice as much for the banner! |

Progress day two:
Got the majority of it done. The drying is what's taking time. Now I gotta paint a border and do some detailing. It's still fun ... |

If you like...you can eMail me a picture for a PRIVATE critique.
I do not do negative reviews in public by the way. If I don't like it I just don't make a comment. If you do a good job, everyone will know it.

I can tell you right now, although I think it's good artistically it would not make a good WORKING banner (you will understand this when you see it. Does not invoke enough imagination.) But I think it will make a KILLER conversation piece!

Get your wax crayons out then!
Or use a stensyl ....... |

Wax crayons? Please explain ...
I think the lettering turned out very well. Not Johnny Meah good, but honestly, better than the majority I see when I look at banners online. Now for the details ... then let it sit and stare at it and see what I hate about it. |

Wax Crayons work great on vinyl,
Chalk is best on canvas. John |

Wax crayons - when ever I am not sure about lettering (and that is often) I get teh wax crayons out and try to make it lok like one of my kids did it for me ..... pass the book on to them I say - why take the blame for yourself.....
not that I could do a banner (i would be in the "better than SOME I see on line" pile ---- right at the bottom) |
