That reminds me of a story:

A couple years after graduating high school I was called upon to draw a large portrait of a local band leader (and my own jazz mentor) for his retirement party. I don’t recall the actual finished size but it was something like 24×36 and I had the whole process was new to me.

The drawing came out great, considering my skill level at the time, but I wasn’t used to signing my name on my work, much less on a piece that big! When I finally placed my signature at the bottom I stepped back and realized it was WAY too big in regards to the rest of the drawing.
I escaped with a couple small crits like, “isn’t your signature kind of big?”
For the most part, everyone was so pleased with the drawing they could care less what the signature looked like. After his retirement party the drawing went to hang in his house and I figured I’d rarely get to see it AND that signature again.

A couple years later, they decided to use my drawing to create a bronze relief sculpture that would hang on the local high school band room. They cropped the image down, but no amount of cropping was going to keep that gargantuan autograph off there.
So there it hangs, my great big pretentious signature, staring back at anyone who enters my high school.
*sigh*
