Hello fellow Hand Lettering Forum participants!!
I'd like to introduce myself, My name is Chris Fernandes, I been lurking around this forum of and on for years now, and decided I would introduce myself.
I Been hand letterin of and on as a hobby for about 5-6 years I guess, And I was a Graffiti writer for about 12 years before that, Dont really do that much anymore though. Its was really fun for me when I was younger though and lead to my interest in hand lettering/pinstriping. I have more drafting classes than art classes in school and never worked in the art industry. I did paint houses for a few years, that was good experience. So yeah I dont do this to survive so its a little different for me, also Ive never laid down vinyul, and dont know anything about getting my art into computer files for customers(plan to learn soon).
I really like this forum and will participate were I can. I really appreciate all the help you guys give. And Love all the glass work. Your freind Jerry Berg Meet up with me last year on CSA. And he has helped me out a lot and makes me want to get involved more! Here is a piece I did after Jerry showed me the stove pipe font , sorry about the poor image quality
I like the use of color on the sign... the robins egg blue and fire red really work well. And I agree the fruit looks well done.

Sure I paint thing for my amusement and then offer them for sale. A brushslinger could whither en die from lack of creativity in this plastic town my horse threw a shoe in.
