hi lettering fans, my name is Jean-Do , french sign painter since 2004 at my own workshop, graduate since 1984. i live in burgundy, in the center of France, the famous wines country !
If ,when i get graduate ,i worked in a sign painter's shop with adhesives and plotter cutting tools, i decided in 2004 to get specialized in hand painting lettering. for sure, in france, that's not the good way to make money ! we don't have your culture about vintage jobs and techniques . fortunately, we follow the mode , especially when it comes from america, and now i can survive with pinstriping and lettering on custom cars and bikes . i show my knowledge during shows and meetings , painting live , to proove others that i'm not a computer !!
i'll be happy to share pictures and words with all of us .
thank you for welcome
regards
jean-do and my wife Jacotte

Welcome Jean Do !! It would appear from the photo that you may have VW sickness . Some call it love. I would prefer to see you in a 2cv or 1970 DS Citreon .
