One of the projects at Studio de Michel that keeps me busy is signage! When I was a teenager, I earned a little money painting signs here and there. This is a throwback to that time. My technique? Thank God for computer fonts! I picked Matisse ITC for my logo and enlarged it to 590 for the window and the small outside lettering; enlarged it by graph for the large outside and inside lettering. Inside I transferred the large font to the wall with graphite paper; outside I cut the lettering into outline stencils and patted paint over the paper for letter outlines. The rest is painting. Oh, the window? I used the stencil taped to the outside of the window, and painted on the inside. Picture coming! It's 6am...and I must make the signage!
