Fernando studied Arts in Argentina and developed a lifelong fascination for the traditional Argentinean artistry.

For all my German friends:
Fernando Oddone aus Barcelona wird am 7. und 8. November einen exklusiven Signpainting und Lettering Workshop in Amorbach, Odenwald halten. Fernando hat in Argentien Kunst studiert und sich schon früh mit dem traditionellen Kunsthandwerk in seinem Heimatland auseinander gesetzt. Dort hat das Schildermalen und Beschriften von LKWs und Firmenschildern in den 40iger Jahren seine Blüte erreicht. Fernando möchte mit seinen Arbeiten nicht nur die Vielfalt dieses Kunsthandwerks in die Welt hinaustragen, sondern auch die Traditionen bewahren und das traditionelle Handwerk weiterleben lassen. Fernando ist sehr beschäftigt, in ganz Europa Fensterfronten und Schilder zu gestalten. Deshalb bin ich sehr stolz Ihn für diesen ersten ersten Workshop überhaupt in Deutschland gewinnen zu können. 
Fernando wird seine Herangehensweise für die Designs vermitteln und wie man diese in seinem beeindruckenden 3D Effekt umsetzen kann. Natürlich werden auch Schriften geschrieben und er erklärt alle Details wie das am besten gemacht wird.
Es gibt auch ausreichend Gelegenheit, ihm direkt bei der Arbeit zuzusehen.

WICHTIG: Der Kurs ist exklusiv auf Englisch. 
Mindestteilnehmerzahl:5
Materialien werden gestellt.

Die Details wie genauer Ort und Ablauf werden im Moment noch erarbeitet. 
Wer Interesse hat, bitte direkt bei mir melden: paintedsteel@gmail.com oder 0176 22667502.

Freehand Font - with examples

Something I wanted to test for some time: Lettering an alphabet with a bamboo quill and ink.
I had some time yesterday - driving my wife crazy who had to organise a party for sunday...
Turned out quite nice. Also put some example words together to test the characters.
If i had to do a vector font, i would have to tweak some of them.
Will post some more the next few days.

Obviously the font design below is 100% copyright by Michael Endres.
I might turn it into a commercial vector font one day.


Skull & Script - some old sketchbook stuff

acryls in sketchbook; script done in white acryl
I finished another sketchbook last week and had a look through old ones.Found this scripts, which i did over painted skulls. The anatomy sucks as they are both from a time before i owned a skull model. However, i liked the colors and the fact that they are another layer behind the font....well the script on the right is not awesome, but I like the effect.


Forever Two Wheels

Test with catalyst on a chrome plated license plate. no way to get the paint off without drastic measures.
I should have spent more time on creating a sketch first, i guess.

Signwriting for Main Coast Choppers

I recently did a cool sign writing job on a marble stone plate.
Looks classic and pleased the owner.

Stay tuned.
