Couldn't be happier and the customers notice the quality. Most can't believe hand lettering looks so good and that it can even be done anymore.
Stick with it. I doubt you'll ever go hungry!
Thanks for the positive input, Jeff.
Used to live in Glendale, then Phoenix, doing airbrush tees and stuff in various suburban malls, and then the Arizona State Fair the last year I lived there.
Having grown up in NE Minnesota just a few miles from the Canadian border though, the heat just wasn't for me.
(Every winter, I wonder why I moved back here.)
