If you were knocking on my door this week it wasn't because were hiding from you, it's because we were way out of town, in beautiful rural Mezeppa, Minnesota, home of the famous sign painter Mike Meyers. I am participating in an intensive 4 day instruction in the art of hand lettering. Almost a dying art, Mike is bringing it back by teaching the new generation of sign makers how to create without a computer and produce beautiful hand made signs that are a work of art with a soul that a computer generated facsimile will never have. The golden age of the hand painted sign may be in the rear view, but I hope to bring a more of this hand crafted art into all of our future signs.
