Ciao Everybody,
Diana and I are in Rome, yeah the one in Italy.
We are taking pictures of signs of course, wow they have some really old ones, except they all just use Roman Lettering. This is the most humbling experience for anyone with any artist talent, in fact I,m giving it all up and just going to get a job and drive a truck.
Will figure out how to post photos when we return.

I would be interested in seeing texture techniques and various karats being used there, as well as what they use for back-up on glass. Enjoy your trip.

He John!
Here's your chance. "When in Rome, do as the Romans"...maybe you can do that--and when you get back to the states, you can let us know what that means!
