Hand Lettering

mister elastik

i am very interested in handlettering, i have been practicing and scribbeling the past couple of months. could anyone give me any advice, either books to look at, courses to attend to learn more about handlettering, handlettering and signpainting companies to check out, any tricks, tips, ideas?

thanks a lot,
c.

Constantin,

I would like to be able to help but clearly this is not my area of expertise. John Downer in Iowa is the expert in this field. Rod MacDonald in Toronto also, but neither seem to make any appearances in the Forum.

Hopefully someone else has some suggestions.

This is a good starting point:
