OHV lettering system?

Post by Jill Marie Welsh »

Hi.
After seeing a picture of Al Zanetti painting a large single letter with an intriguing looking grid behind it, I have been curious.
I have looked high and low for an alphabet made in this manner.
Today I picked up my copy of Signwork by Bill Stewart.
Lo & behold, it is in there, described as the OHV System.
I'd like to see an entire alphabet drawn out in this manner so I can experiment with it.
Can anyone give me any additional information on this?
Thanks....Jill

I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for Jill. It's in a book called Applied Lettering. The authors are George Evans and Christine Cash:

Amazon has used copies listed for a buck and change from various sellers.

Here is a link to a larger scan of that page It's a TIFF file that needs to be downloaded.
