Any of you have a ten (ish) year old son/nephew/brother...

[Damini]

whose hand writing you'd want to have immortalised forever on promotional pencils? Heh... I know it's a little odd, but I want to get some pencils made up with "Biro Bill - Hands Off!" written on them, and I can't find a font that looks suitably like boys handwriting, so I thought I'd ask if anyone here would want to volunteer their offspring or relatives. It would just need to be a clear, black ink picture for me to use, written along a straight line (obviously, because it's going to go on a pencil). I will pay you richly for this service*






*lies. But I will give you a stash of pencils.

got an eight year old and a thirteen year old so , on average thats 10.5 - will that do?

eight year old is feeling poorly atm but I can get him to do it if you want.


your alternative is to ask WPK - doesnt he have handwriting like a 10 year old

quick search for fonts turned this :

any of those suitable?

I saw this one and you can sample it too:

Heh, he has very nice hand writing, for a dirty left hander

That would be great if you could throw your youngest son out of bed, tell him to snap out of it, and lob a pen and paper at him. OR, if you want to leave me karmically intact, wait until he's feeling better and ask him politely if he minds?

If anyone else wants to have a go, please do. I've got to send a couple examples to The Pencil Man (not his superhero name) and he's going to show me which ones would work and which ones wouldn't.

This is all part of me trying to act like a proper author, and be all publicity minded. It doesn't come naturally at all :/

<Hijack> Kenny's a dirty lefty????? *UNCLEAN* *UNCLEAN*</Hijack>

If you're going for authentic bad handwriting from kiddies and publicity, do a bloody compo, teh kiddies read your books ffs!!!!*

*may be lies..... so I've got a copy..... so what?..... Don't look at me like that..... STOP IT!

 

[Mey]

I can write normally for you, my handwriting can be pretty dodgy some times

I'll even circle the O's!

 

[ST^]

not if you want it to be legible

 

[Sydrik]

If kenny is already one of those dirty lefty type people surely its just a case of getting him semi pissed or stamping on his hand until it becomes child like...... or both

 

[Jupitus]

I think it would be fitting if it was my lad's writing I'll get a sample done

 

[dysfunction]

why? is he really damini's boy?

 

[Jupitus]

Hehe .... nah, but our cats' names are used in book 1

 

[Utini]

Didn't wolfy start a thread with a similar title to this....isn't he in jail now?

/me mumbles to himself incoherently about "should have got it in writing"
