A Signpainters’s Sketch Book: Noel B. Weber
If you’ve ever wondered where truly great lettering comes from, the answer is usually the same …. a sharp pencil and a sketchbook.
This remarkable collection from legendary sign painter Noel B Weber offers a rare glimpse inside the creative process of one of the most respected lettering artists of the last half-century. Packed with original sketches, layouts, lettering explorations and design drawings from Noel’s long career, it shows how timeless sign work begins long before a brush eve touches a panel.
Joby has always believed that drawing is the foundation of good lettering, and this book is a masterclass in exactly that. Every page is filled with ideas, flourishes, layouts and letterforms that demonstrate the thought, craftsmanship and attention to detail that separate good sign work from great sign work.
Whether you’re a professional signwriter, a fairground artist, a lettering enthusiast or simply someone who appreciates beautiful design, this is the sort of book you’ll find yourself returning to again and again. Open it at any page and you’ll come away inspired to pick up a pencil.
Beautifully produced as a hardback volume, the book contains over 170 pages of sketches and artwork from Noel’s 45 year sign painting career, alongside interviews and insights into the life and work of one of the original Letterheads. It is quite simply one of the finest sources of letter inspiration you could have on your shelf.
A must-have reference book for anyone serious about letter, signwriting and traditional design.
