    Well the thing for me is that the print or italic Z is a really fun letter with a fountain pen, but the cursive is much less so. It really shows line thickness difference. I have to say your first sample is good. Hey as you can tell by my screen name I like Mazda! I have had my Miata for about 12 years now, most reliable vehicle I have ever owned, of course I have not had it on the road for two years, but it has to come out. I can't afford my BMW running 18 MPG with premium gas! While the Miata does not get great millage, it takes regular!

    Ditto! Actually James, I really like the z in your first picture. If I could do one that nice I'd be happy.

    Oh, I was making a Pulp Fiction reference (no, I wasn't calling you baby ), I didn't know that there was truth to what I said. What next? Canadians who don't say "eh" or "anti-clockwise"?

    As children, we had hours of fun running counter-clockwise 'round the chesterfield.

    Oddly enough, this uninformative and pointless thread is full of opportunities for a custom title for you ...
