I spent every summer since I was born in Wildwood and when I was about 6-7 I remember the people at the Douglass Pavilion on the Wildwood Boardwalk hand sketching your picture. I was amazed by their skills and I wanted to try it, so I would sketch a little here and there in grade school at Good Shepard in SW Philly.
In 1975 I meet a sketch artist on the Wildwood boardwalk and he showed me how to measure with pencil lengths, and cut the sketch in half, then half again to get the right dimensions.
I wasn’t too good at it but after some practice, I enjoyed it and got better. So when these new photo program apps turned your pic into a sketch I said, I can do that! So I went out and bought a pencil sketch kit and book and started pencil sketching.
So, I decided I would hand sketch the Wildwood Sign and put it on a T-shirt and maybe do 4-6 sketched shirts a year. After about 4 weeks of working on it ( had to use a ruler on some of the letters) it looked good but I still wasn’t happy with it so I sketched some more until I had about 20 sketches and the last one looked great.
After I had the Wildwood sign sketched the way I wanted it I needed to sketch a logo, so I sketched a shark fin for the front of the shirt and inserted ” Wild Beach” on it.
