Location: Pure Arts, Battle, Kent

I have an alterego - TheWrittenArtist, handwriting, signature and autograph coach, working with individuals and groups. Recently gave a very productive artist signature workshop at Pure Arts in Battle. http://www.pureartsgroup.co.uk/
Several responsive artists came up with some tremendous signature solutions. Signing work legibly, with a little flair and considered placing is such an important aspect of art, but often neglected.
