Raymond ChapmanI've been flipping through my back issues of SignCraft and AMAL lately. January traditionally is a time of year I spend recharging my creative batteries every year.
I also try and experiment with some new techniques and materials too. The how-to articles in the mags help me along greatly. I also surround myself with revelent books on the subject as well.
As I look through the mags I often get sidetracked by others work and stories there. What inspiration! Kindred minds.... what Letterheads is all about.
As I posted yesterday, Gold is what interests me this year... so much to learn and experiment with. I know I can take my craft to a new level, inspired by what I see. I am reved!!!!!
So thanks to those here who have shared their knowledge through the magazines, letterhead meets, here on a discussion board, and to those around them personally. I appreciate it greatly and will try to pass what I learn down the line.

And thank you for all the inspiration you have given the rest of us, too.
Not too long I was doing the same thing (looking through old SC issues) and came across your mural work. Now, that is nice stuff. There is a blank wall in the small town in which I live (Belton - pop. 12,000) that would be the perfect canvas for an historical mural. Now if I can just get my mind to work like Dan's....
