    Always love your work Andrew, it’s always interesting!

    Do you design all these jobs or are some given to you virtually ready to go?

    btw, do you think there’s a market for burnt cork drawings? I was recalling seeing a real handy artist -working late one night in a hotel bar- to a friend just the other day, clever stuff!

    Terrible Andrew, you should be ashamed posting work like that

    😀

    But seriously.. your work is just on another level, fantastic to look at and so inspirational. Love the first one.

    Hope your well

    What can i say Andrew, truly "top notch" stuff as always mate…

    actually, it’s rather irritating… :lol1: :lol1:

    Hats off to you, as Martin says, your work is always inspirational. Always thinking outside the box…

    is picture one mirror dibond with vinyl on face?
    Is picture two printed onto etch?
    and threads… routered dibond, cut vinyl, String and god knows… the patiants of a saint? 😮

    Love them all, but as you can probably tell, I’m sat here now trying to work out how the hell you achieved them! 😉

    right, got better things to do with my time here… early rise for me, got tons of health & safety signs direct from a clipart disk to do. that should get my creative juices going eh! :lol1: :lol1:

    thanks for taking the time to post your work Andrew. 😀

    Indeed you did Harry 😀
    me: " How do I know when to apply the second coat"
    you: " When the first one’s dry "
    😀 😀

    Thanks for all your kind comments, a bit embarrassing 😳

    Rob,…matt clear 2 x overprint, matt laminated vinyl, wallpaper, router cut black composite with yacht thread and matt vinyl, frosted and chrome.
    We used some optical clear from papergraphics for the net curtains 😀 Luckily we didn’t have to do the thicker ropes as below.

    More problem solving than designing the rope one.

    😀 😀

    you know, i think that for many of the best sign makers around in this day "problem solving" is becoming a big feather in the cap. something you appear to take in your stride, Andrew. so well done mate…
    also, your signage is often very original, diverse, and think that is one of the factors that separates your work from most.

    seeing the second strings picture makes me like it all even more…
    i think it’s so good to see actual use of different materials, objects, whatever to paint a picture/sign is excellent.
    i often see traditional signage done within, the web and the like… the sign makers, although using traditional brush and paint, incorporate rope, brick, hammered texture effects in the background, glass bits and more all into their work…. for me it just makes the work so much more interesting to look at.

    thank you for sharing…

    Remember the big art deco fronted building we were working behind in Darlinton….It’s inside there……The photo was a tiny wee black and white that was saved from being chucked out 😀 😀

    Love what they have done with that industrial estate.
    Do they have any online record of all the things they have done there? Would be great to see.

    What was the name of the estate again?…lol 😳
