One of a kind talent. Best of the best. A national treasure as signified by his OBE designation.
@duncan-wilkie I couldn’t agree more, Duncan. Dave is such a genuinely nice, funny guy too. The detail in his work is unbelievable.
incredible talent, so beautiful. but how do you go about telling your customer their sign will be ready in 5 years time?
Dave does brilliant work, it is to perfection, I follow him on you tube, one day this type of skill will disappear, good to see there are still great artist around doing this work, Great Work!
Incredible. It’s a struggle to extract £1000 for entire shop signage so I dread to think of how much he must charge ! Proper talent though and worth whatever he charges
