Hey don't feel bad about posting your work. I certainly can't imagine that I am the only one on the forum who enjoys seeing your stuff. Keep it coming
So the overall size of your piece is about 6 foot by 18 inches?

Re: Double Dip Gallery
Congratulations Tony
The front looks absolutely wonderful and you should get a lot of foot traffic right there on Pine St. Glad to see that it is paying off in selling your artwork and more sign jobs. Two blocks eh? You can walk to work.

Re: A Cloudy Forcast For All You Cloud Users.
I'm not a cloud user, but, for what it may be worth I did receive an email from Adobe regarding the need to change my password. They even phoned me to be sure I received the email regarding their compromised server.

Re: Looking for good software advice.
Danny, so then you are doing all of your sign work in Adobe Illustrator and cutting it with MagiCut? As I recall you have a table router (Gerber)? What are you using with respect to it? Are you still an all Mac environment?
