A Sign Painter's Sketchbook: Hand Drawn by Noel B. Weber is a 176-page hardcover of lettering sketches from Weber, an accomplished sign painter based in Boise, Idaho. It gathers more than 150 pages of drawings made over a 45-year career, and comes with a 27" fold-out poster.
Sign painting and tattooing share a lot: both depend on confident letterforms, balanced layouts and ornament that reads from a distance. Weber's sketchbook shows alphabets, layouts and decorative details as working drawings, so you can see how a sign painter thinks through spacing, weight and flourish before the brush ever touches the panel.
It is a deep lettering reference for tattoo artists who want to sharpen their script and banners, and equally useful to sign painters, illustrators and designers. Pair it with Dave Gibson's The Lettering Book for a tattoo-specific approach.
