Title
Lettering. An online art course in hand painted lettering applied to sign painting
Description
I am a sign painter for over 27 years. Owner of Derek's Custom Signs, located in Williamstown, NJ, about 35 miles from Atlantic City. I've learned from the most experienced sign painters in the area, unfortunately most of them have passed on.
Before all of this, I was a graffiti artist in Philadelphia. Back in Junior High school I tried to keep up with the crowd. I too defaced public property until I got caught writing on a wall in school. The others got away, but I got caught -- lucky me. I had to scrub every wall, desk and chair for a month. That incident changed my whole life. When I look back over those years, I realize it was a blessing in disguise.
A few years later at my sisters graduation I met her classmate's older brother Richard Taylor. He was a professional pin striper and sign painter. He explained to us how difficult it was for him to find any young people interested in learning this trade. So I took that as a challenge... and the rest is history! A few years later we moved to Jersey.
