  • hand painted signage: cocktail bar

    Posted by Terry Bull on June 30, 2003 at 10:49 pm

    After painting this 8×4 and many other chalkboards in a club a few weeks ago I had a call today to say could I come back and do some of them again

    Following a disagreement with the clubs owners the bar manager had flipped his lid and vandalised the place by throwing paint everywhere
    before doing a runner
    luckily this was up high
    I managed to scrape off the worst, reblack and make good -thankfully

    stunning work mate.. as ever.

    that bottom one is a crying shame… 😥 😥 😥
    its off to the big sign cemetary in the sky 😉 *change*

    can we all have a moment silence for the loss of such a lovely sign!
    😉 😆 😆 😆

    that bar man must have known how much the owner liked the work mate or he wouldnt have attacked it in the first place. if it was me ide have took a hammer to all the drinks… but no! he went for what he thought would get them the most..

    there is a complement in there someplace honest 😕 😉 😆 😆 😆

    at least you get to cash in on it a second time round mate 😛

    Fantastic work Terry! – I just love it!…and what a crying shame that someone should do that to it. Great news that you were able to save it.

    I always get a buzz from seeing your work, there’s so much detail, you can see every brush-stroke and the colours are superb…more please! 😀

    more soon
