I put this together as a gift for Mike Jones at The Jetsetter Lounge in Lake Worth, FL. The JSL has become something of a home away from home for us, and I wanted to show Mike a little appreciation.

I used an opaque projector to blow up the business card design for my layout. As a beginning artist, I'm learning the importance of taking ample time during this step. Both this sign and the Mai Kai sign I made have some symmetry issues. I feel confident that patience and more experience with the required tools will help me get better...hopefully!

I started with the letters and a rough cut of the background.

The letters are painted and I started carving the inside Diamonds.

Skipping a few steps, the paint is done except for the trim.

With the black trim.

Finished!
