  1. Really, really OLD vinyl removal product/technique recommendations

    This isn't in my wheelhouse, so suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I've got a sports car here that I want to take extra care with.

  2. Another Successful Walldog Meet

  3. 2018 Walldog Meet Design.

    I recently finished this design for the 2018 Walldog meet. It's called Murals and Milestones because this will be the Walldogs' 25 year, Streator will be celebrating it's 150th birthday, and Illinois will be turning 200. The full color design will be used for most marketing promotions, but we...

  12. What material should we use and where can we get large sheets of it?

    Ok, so it's getting close to that time of year. Haunted house season. For the past year we have had a great attraction built into our haunt. It's a vortex tunnel that we built on top of an old boat trailer so that we can move it around and store it. For those not familiar with a vortex...
  13. Artwork theft and showing your portfolio on other sites

    This one is kind of related to my post about crowdsourcing/spec-work. I have a bunch of logo designer friends on facebook and a few on here. Some of them are freelancers, some not. Every once-in-a-while I'll see a designer post up examples of other people ripping off their work, and they have...
  14. Looks like it wasn't meant to be.

  18. Using the Nation's Flag in a design.

    I had a customer stop in and request that we design his logo and signs. He wants his businesses name to sit over top of an image of the American Flag. He is not the first to request this. I want to steer him away from this primarily because text sitting over top of a high contrasting pattern...
  19. It's okay to not make every change to a design that others suggest.

    I had a client stop in with a huge list of suggested changes that his family and friends suggested we make to his design. Most of it was color changes, you know stuff involving personal preferences. Some of the changes weren't possible or conflicted with another change that someone suggested...
