Hi there,
My name is Andrew, and i am from Sydney.
I am new to lettering, I have always liked it, and my grandfather did some in his time I believe.

As far as paint background goes, I have done my fair share of automotive painting, both cars and motorcycles,
aswell as various other things that have stayed still long enough for me to paint them,
Building, modifying and painting cars and bikes is what got me into pinstriping, and i have been doing a bit of striping over the last 2 or 3 years, I did as most do and started out with a couple of tins of oneshot and two mack brushes.

As of now I am going to get deeper into pinstriping, because doing it every few months isnt working, I get rusty and ideas dont flow like when you do it weekly, well thats my personal findings,
So since i will be doing that, I would also like to get into lettering too.
Hopefully this forum will get me on the right track, as i dont really know much about lettering,

Any advice would be appreciated, And i look forward to seeing you guys and girls around the forum.
