Scored the letters to easily create an outline.
My friends are going to local protests, and while I cannot be there in person, I wanted to contribute.
I’m making 3 signs double signed
Here’s the first one
(almost done, I just wanted to share!!)

I’ve used my GF for protest signs too.
For anyone expecting to carry a banner for some time - I have three bits of advice.
-
Make it as light as possible. Cardboard is great.
-
Use a long pole, ideally a round smooth one - like from long rake.
It is much nicer for the hands when holding it for 8 hours and also gets the poster higher as well. With the right outfit you can even jam it in your waistband.
A squared or rough pole can be really wearing after a few hours.
- Make sure you can fit it in your car or whatever transport you are using.
Good luck and stay safe out there.

I would add this: If using a squared or rough pole, wrap the handle with duct tape.

Very Nice.
Rhetorical Question…Did you paint with acrylic by hand without the tape?
Very nice, and very neat.
How did you avoid the paint from bleeding over:
Thank you! I outlined with acrylic markers - I highly recommend Arteza from amazon
Then i used an small angle brush to paint the acrylic - just used some ol’ paints from amazon
what I’ve learned, I dont need to outline before I paint. So next time i’m using the scores for my outline/border then after it dries I’ll go back over with the black marker for the border.
