    Posted by Chris.Sullivan on 28 November 2009 at 21:14

    Now i know that the majority of you guys on here are traditional sign-writers (i.e brush and oils) and think that guys like me ( a chalkboard sign writer) cheat cos we use posca pens (i.e chisled edges)……but i thought i`d share some of my work and see what you guys think (good or bad please)

    Nice work Chris.
    most on the boards would love to have a bit of your talent,
    the traditional sign writers are few and far between,
    yes we do have a fair share but not in the majority.

    Thanks for sharing your work

    Well done Chris, nice work.

    I started as a ticket/ poster writer ie, one stroke brushes and plaka paint but also used chisel tipped markers, still do the occasional poster but very few and far between.

    Jill lives in America Chris and in a dry state don’t know why chalk boards would be illegal though 🙄 by the way nice work.

    No, a dry town not a dry state! hahaha heaven forfend!
    I am not sure why they are illegal
    (another sign guy told me about this when I had a recent inquiry for them)
    Something about they have been banned by the Dept of Health.
    Not the marker kind, the chalk kind.
