    Hi, haven’t posted anything for a while. Here’s a few, pretty much the type of work I do everyday. Thanks for looking.

    Thanks for the positives……. 😀

    Cheers Shane, I may well do that. 😉

    Thank you Jill, yes I have been very busy this year, really don’t get enough traditional stuff to do these days though apart from honours boards. I’ve got 3 shop fronts to hand-paint soon, glad they’ve waited till Autumn/Winter to do them. Brrrrrrrrr 🙁

    Shush Phill……….I was really worried that Inspector Jill would spot that dreaded font, and all the ‘TEL’s. Down to the customer I’m afraid to match their existing sign-work.

    Thanks Neil

    I noticed, I was just being nice.
    I figured they were the customers’ choices.
    I have used BS before but never Tel.

    Some nice looking work there Neil, with 3 traditional shop fronts to do is that because of the customers choice or because they are in a conservation area.

    Thanks Jill, knew the BS wouldn’t get past your eagle eye.
    Happy Columbus day.

    Martin, the shops are owned by the local authority and they want them hand painted to fit in with the period buildings.

    Is that A&S Truckin’, Neil? I like that font, already sold a logo or two incorporating it.
    And I see some Red Sable too.

    Hi Jill, yep, Red Sable and Sign DNA Thick & Thin, I haven’t got A&S Truckin but looks like a great font.
    I try and use LHF Garner (by our friend Duncan) whenever I can.

    Thanks Mike.

    Cheers James, took me quite a while to come up with what probably looks very simple, went thru lots of stages which got a little complicated until I settled on this. I’ve airbrushed a different theme on each side of the van on the black lettering, the airbrush fades to my name give it a moulded 3D feel. I’ll have to post some close up pics.
    It often gets mistaken for being digitally printed but it’s good ole paint.

    Don’t worry Shane, difficult to tell from 12000 miles away 😮

    Thanks Ade, Martin & Lynn.

    Here’s the other side of the van, it gets some odd looks when I turn up at Churches.
