Hi

Here some test ok my new mack 000 received today !!!! What to say, it seems to be another world for me , It seem like my hand has been changed for a more efficient one . I used to work with Excalibur , don't want to say that Mack are better than Excalibur, but i think they are bettre just forme , the sword is longer and it change a lot for the curves. I know my curves are not perfect but they are really better than the ones done with my excalibur.
With this experience, i think the first stage is to find the good brush , the one adapted to your hand and your way to work.
Another thing is not to try to hand your brush like what you see on the pinstripper master , i've tried to hand it like graig fraser and others, and finally think i've found my own way to do. maybe it's not the more academic one but it is the one where i feel more confortable . With this brush :I can do // lines , clean and // curved lines, end the lines with tips and clean, i can do half of circle but not full one , i don't have find the way to do the other side !!!
Tomorrow , i will try a design with it.

Pat you are doing a great job there brother!

One day, after I can do lettering to the point that Darla gives me a pass, I would love to try striping, it looks so challenging and rewarding.

But I must exercise some form of restraint somewhere, I am a sucker for always launching into new things, I don't just try something, I go for it "balls and all" but I have managed to convince myself that I need to work more on the basics of my Airbrush art in all forms before I try something extra.

Until then people like yourself, Darla, Don and Al just serve as continual inspiration.

Well done mate.
