Holy moly! :shock:
How can you think of giving up Rio Bravo?!
That hurts.....

The cattle go down to the stream
The redwing settle in their nest
Its time for a cowboy to sing."

I am in shock....... :cry:

It's an 8x10 scratchboard. I use a #11 exacto blade to make the scratches. Look at the edge on that knife. That is a very, very sharp knife, that is.

I'm glad to see you "back at it". Talent like that deserves reward, your portfolio just needs to be shown to the right people. Get on that, eh? :wink:
I believe there is no shame in failure. Rather, the shame lies in the loss of all the things that might have been, but for the fear of failure.

He not only builds,

but he can letter, too.

hey, nice lettering, very nice lettering.

Did you layout that lettering by hand, your own style,
or find that somewhere?

Got the church done. ...a morning picture might be best, truth be told...
can you wait til tomorrow?

Got it all lettered up, and I enjoyed it. Got the font, Perry Gothic from fontspace, set it up in Corel Draw,
then had my plotter make pounce patterns, slapped 'em up and hand painted 'em.
Half computer, half hand done. It was an interesting gothic kinda font and was
fairly easy to brush letter.

Gonna build the fur trappers cabin next!

The Lord sometimes challenges us, doesn't he?

Stop building, you sniveling a55! Stop your nonsense.
Your just the younger builder, Billy.

Did you think your song and dance and your superstitious building would save you?
I am the third revelation! I am who the Lord has chosen, because I'm smarter than you!
I am older and wiser and I'm not a false builder!
