I spent the first two or three weeks of sign painting school painting nothing but 1 and 2 inch lines, over and over and over until I got a whole row perfectly straight. Now when I tried this with a pinstiping brush some months later... man, that was hard! I think anyone can pick up on it, it just takes a lot of practice. I love going back and looking at my old artwork, I've kept pretty much everything since middle school. The weirdest thing is when I'm driving along somewhere and see a sign I made like the week before and didn't know where it was being installed, it's weird, I always have to do a double take, lol.

Oh and the bike... he'd planned on selling it and buying a different one, I think he had a buyer too, lol, what luck! He ended up buying another bike anyway, but this one he's hanging on to until next spring I think.
