Mike Meyer Lettering Workshop (RECAP)

 

We had the pleasure of Hosting Mike Meyers Lettering Workshop and kicking off his West Coast Tour. From the moment Mike arrived it was laughs and good times. He pulled up to my shop in a yellow school bus with his son Jacob and we started unloading right away. My favorite part of it all was hearing all the awesome stories Mike told us during his stay here. We can all learn to paint but the history and stories that come with this craft need to be told in order to keep them alive. I even got to show him and the rest of the class a few good foodie spots in the area because what good is a road trip without great food right? Over all Mike’s class is a great way to learn the craft and keep it from being just another “Dying Art” as people like to call it.

At the end of the 3 day class; Dino and I had a chance to interview Mike for our Podcast series (BEHIND THE BRUSH) where we got to archive some of Mikes amazing tips, stories, and learned a lot about Mike and the reason he teaches till this day. Mike travels the world sharing his experience and you can catch him on the West Coast this year while he completes his West Coast Tour. Next up will be Colorado, Utah, Oregon, California, Kansas, and Oklahoma. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to not only learn from one of the best sign painters alive but to hear the history and the stories behind it all. You wont regret it.
