Hopefully, I can get away with a little self promotion here. The new SignCraft is hitting the streets. We have a new ad running which introduces our new ornamental clip art CD. I've been working on it for over a year (almost two actually) and finally decided to stop digitizing and try to get it ready to sell. There are about 400 of my own designs in this collection which has over 1100 images. The bulk of the rest of the images come from obscure ephemera, bill heads, trade cards, and letterheads. With few exceptions, most people with have never seen these images. There are numerous pre-built designs in this collection which would make wonderful glass signs.
Besides the CD itself, I had to get the book ready and do the normal pre-promotion. At the same time, I rebuilt the web site from scratch. All of that took a lot of time in the last quarter of 2005.
I digitized a new font for this collection which looks like the gold lettering on a dollar bill. Once I digitized all the outlines, Chuck Davis at Letterhead Fonts built the actual fonts for the PC and Mac.
Have a look!
