It's all income generation. Here you have to be licensed and bonded to install substrate based signs in Amarillo, and it requires a permit for the sign. Doesn't matter if it's a 2"x2" piece of plexi or a 4'x8' diabond sign. I get WHY they had to do it ... too many people hillbilly rigging...

I have been seeing a lot of non-leather footballs come out ... I use heat transfer vinyl for shirts on it after I load them up into my hat press. As long as it's not leather and that synthetic material they make them out of now ... material bonds with it fantastically and they use them to play...

This I don't entirely agree with this. Right now there is a trend in pc building not to use decent video cards in 'work pc' builds ... because the Graphics Card market is butchered thanks to bitcoin mining. I have a 7 year old graphics card that is worth more now than when I bought it thanks...

Touch screens on computers are terrible for sensitivity and accuracy. Plus, it's not the same as a cintiq or even those discount drawing tablets with a monitor behind them ... they are made for chunky finger detection, nothing detailed and precise. For a pc or mac ... something like this is...

I haven't had any issues with the printing from signs365 yet. I would like to use them for printing canvas, but I get canvas printed for about $1.25 less ... but that isn't a quality control issue. That is more wishful thinking.

I had one dude roll through with one of the most hammered pieces of plexi ever (from his cow trailer) and wanted to remove the old stuff (probably 6 years old on broken acrylic) and replace it with new stuff from his business card. After I had the removal charge, the new graphics and the...

The only way to protect your work from being copied ... is to not give the customer something to shop around with. Cease and desist orders only go so far ... and art theft lawsuits cost a small fortune. A while back, I had a cast metal sculpture that someone copied, turned into a hood...

It's part of the job, sadly. Only thing you can do is inform, educate and hope for the best ... and if need be, cover your time with an art fee. Mind you, any day I get more than a screen shot, of a photo, of a xerox from 20 years ago ... is a day to rejoice. Seriously, nothing irks me more...

Wrong guy you're calling out.

Silvertip, from someone who has sold a business to having a family member to starts and flips turn key businesses ... here is the basic truth. 9 times out of 10 you won't get a decent valuation above 2 times the invested valuation of the equipment of a shop unless you can walk away for a month...

I think the first layout was good, like others said ... if he was trying to be a serious vet, probably not the right fit for him ... but judging from the guy, you probably wouldn't know that until after the first design. As for the whole unprofessional if you do spec work thing ... I...

I swear, I get some of the stupidest stuff at times. This week ... its half of everything that comes across my desk. Like a guy wanting a bible quote that is wrong with hermes boots and a spartan (300 movie, not historical) helmet on with it. When do I get to say, "that is stupid, stop...

I have a buddies from college that have studios in Main and North Carolina. I have a standing offer in both their shops to go teach ceramics and sculpture for them and do firings and shop tech stuff for them, and the one in Main would give me one of his rentals to live in scott free (power...

And my 100 dozen shirts, 90 banners and 20k business cards.

Nothing close, that I can think of. check the scifi/honda/futuristic categories of fonts, should turn up something a cousin to it.
