That old diner in Dayton had the best sign I've seen in years
Stopped for coffee at a diner off Route 4 in Dayton last week, and their hand-painted window sign stopped me dead. The guy who did it used this fat brush technique with zero digital help, and the shadows on the letters had this depth you just don't get from a vinyl cutter. Made me think about how much I rely on software tricks instead of just practicing the basics. Anyone else got a spot where the signage made you rethink your process?

...and I bet my last three attempts at hand-lettering look like a toddler got into the paint supply. I swear, every time I try that fat brush technique I end up with more paint on my shirt than the window. My sign would probably say "Stop for Cofee" with a big drippy apology underneath.

Wait you actually tried the fat brush on glass? That stuff is a nightmare even for pros.
