Hi Hazel, No its not chalk. The pens really do offer a flexibility to do all sorts of work. they are not quite as precise as acrylic pens but so much quicker to use.

All the best

Richy, Before I answer please explain more about why you describe yourself as a 'cockney wanker' and that your home town is 'god'.

Hi Benescos or can I call you Bene?

Thanks for your kind comments. It's good to get some youth on board. Hope you are keeping urban lettering legal! Actually some graffitti is top quality especially when it is in approved locations. BTW I like your bike - it looks like great fun - vague connection - I have a Suzuki van - but I don't do wheelies!

Jrwren.

I'm an airbrush artist and I've seen these boards in most pubs and always wanted to know how to do them and what materials you use, Thanks you've just made my day :) I like your video's great work john :)

Ok... so no actual chalk at all. And all permanent signage? That is interesting. I have to do a chalkboard menu IN CHALK so it can be rubbed out another day. These pens look waaaaay better.

John ,

I like this video. Do you build your own frames around the board ? If so how ?

Thanks for posting. I've learned a few new things from this :) I've always liked to do sign art and bordering for fun, but was never the best at the lettering; always had a hard time getting it to match up nicely. I like the way you do that though; starting thin and then thickening the letters out later. I've done it the opposite way; I draw out the letters thick and then fill them in and it never looks as nice. I'll definitely be trying it this way now.
