How I feel....

I was finishing my daily practice of lettering and knocked out the word "Letters" I was about to throw away the piece when I thought it would make a cool design. This is what I ended up with. It pretty much sums up how I feel. For those interested it was lettered with a 1/4" Langnickel 6076 Nocturna brush and showcard paint.

Charles,
I hope you feel as good as those letters look. You have a rare talent!

Ditch the tagline. Elegance = done.

It would look great even white on red or black on white (or vice versa) without the drop shadow. I hope I am not too presumptious, criticising is always way too easy :)

Charles, I think it's the swashes that are your life, not the letters :-)

Forgive me if I'm stupid - this is a whole new world to me! Did you paint his by hand with real paints and things? Or are your medium referrals meaning something computer based? Either way it's gorgeous!

gecko_star: he uses a secret as yet unknown technology which we must all discover lest he conquer the world with that lettering.

Thanks!
Gecko Star, it was hand lettered with a lettering brush and paint. Then I scanned in the lettering and outlined it in illustrator. Next I added the sub-copy and lastly the drop shadow to give it some pop.

Dear Sir!
I’d love to see it scanned in black and white, without the Illustrator outlines. Could you please provide that earlier version?
