Larry WhiteHey Mike, it crossed my mind how much I was going to miss going down to Rick's and admiring all the beautiful reverse glass pieces he always had hanging about. They were always a great inspiration for different techinques and layouts. I thought it might be nice to start a page on theletterheads site of pictures of old reverse glass signs. I'm sure various people have digital photos, and every now and then a nice one will come up on ebay. Perhaps these could be collected and posted to a place for everyone to see. ...sounds like I'm creating another task for you... well, you've shown the enthusiasm... just a thought to ponder. -LW
I love the enthusiasm! I'll look through my stuff too. Mike, I've got some good shots of signs that Rick either created or restored. Perhaps a splinter page of the master's original works would be in order. ...Mike, you da man... -LW
Mike Jackson - You guys are alright!
Danny BaronianHi Larry and the rest of the reader,
I do what I can, when I have time and when the bills are paid. The more CDs I sell, the easier it is to peel off a little time to add specialty pages. I think Rick would be proud of his section, and it continues to grow.
So, if people want to help the site by helping me, BUY A CD!Okay, I know that is a blatant plug, but that's really how all this works.

Mike JacksonGood idea, had the same thought for the last few weeks so I began going through the shots I've taken from past Conclaves and made color prints.
Just what Mike need, more pratice on his web skills
Danny
BobI can probably find a place within the Glawson section for good, clean shots like these. (it might take me a few days to get to them)
Thanks!

Mike JacksonMike,
Iv'e got a bunch of pictures from past Conclaves and a couple of trips to Ricks.
I can scan them in and email them to you as JPEGS and you can post then if you want? Bob
BobI know I won't be able to put every photo on the site, so if you can limit it the "the best of", I'd appreciate jpgs of the good ones. Many of the interior shots I shote are fuzzy or with poor contrast.
Thanks,
Mike Jackson
RoderickMike,
'Best of " at Ricks, that's like picking which one of your kids you love best !!! lol
I understand will do. Bob
Larry,
Thats a great idea.I know I was just looking at an old sign mag for some ideas for a new project.
I would be happy to add a section to my web site for that propose if you want.We are receiving photos for the "Ghost Sign"from time to time so I'm getting faster a making them up.Let me know.
