    Thanks for all your help guys.

    Its not a masterpiece but had its own little problems, and Rob although you can see a water bottle it wasn’t needed.

    All cut vinyl onto matt black then installed onto painted MDF. it looks a real dog up close, but the customer is always right.

    No its bot Brushscript. Its Forte.

    I seem to be getting quite a few of these chalkboard/showboard type thing at the moment.

    A guy used to do them with chalkpens but has now retired to the coast. He had a real free flowing style to them and customers still want this although it is no longer available. Trying to get a casual apperance with comp cuy vinyl is proving difficult

    If i get anymore to do i think i’ll have to BUY some decent scripty type fonts

    Looking at the picture of the small board it looks like there is a gazzillion bubbles in it, but that is the surface of the board honest.

    Ive attatched another pic from another pub i did

    God LJ, that turned into a right night mare. I was doing it for a printer who was supplying menus etc to a take away. Anyway he supplied the acrylic cut to size 2.5mt x 800mm (x2). i floodcoated in green transluscent with logo and words stamped out. Job looked loverly in the w/shop.

    So they asked me to fit it, and i declined, saying that i hadnt measured it and didn’t want to look a berk if it didnt fit.

    Needless to say it didnt fit, it was 200mm too deep so i had to cut it and reflood. This time i did help to fit it and it was 100 mm too short

    Anyway job is sorted now and looks good

    I must have got the printer out of the mucky stuff coz hes give me 2 or 3 jobs since

    Iain

    PS. That reads like a novel

    I didn’t respond initially cuz my name is Jill and I thought this was a private post.
    Love….Jill
