Just finished a big painted sign. Time-wise it was about 6 hours to lay out (the scissors lift I was supposed to get from the owner did not work so a good buddy helped me and we did it with ladders) Paint-wise it was about 10 hours with two people and 4 more hours just with me. I think it...

Lovely, lovely work. I miss hearing from you! Thanks for peeking in. Love....Jill

Man, that sucks. I had no idea. Big Al, whatever happens (and I hope for a miracle) I think you are a good person, and you've touched many people's lives in a good way. You're too young for this, not that there's ever a "right" age. Whenever I see Bank Gothic I always think of you and give a...

Good job, Bob! Love....Jill

It's a bit of a learning curve, but I thought Nova was nice because you only needed soap and water to clean it up, and even though a few colors required double and triple coats, the drying time is really fast. The colors are gorgeous, and if they last long, which they are seeming to outlast...

To be honest, I have never liked your logo. The font choice is thin and weak (I call it 70s porno) and the effects are corny. If you are going with an area code for a name, I would start with maybe a cute pinup style vintage telephone switchboard operator as a super graphic and a much bolder...

I'm sure that will stand out in the crowd. (I love Marlene's comment!) Love....Jill

I love the alteration. When the second-newest local hack put one out front, I didn't take it down. His said "NEED A SIGN?" (bad spacing bad fonts etc.) I put one out in the same color, beside my sign with an arrow pointing to my sign that said "Need a REAL Sign?" Love...Jill

I could re-draw it for you, I'd hate to see a museum using Vlad. Love....Jill

Looks like the same damn color to me. I agree, I think one of the moms (presumably one who has a CirCut or who knows someone who does printing) put in her belated 2¢. I would show them this same comparison pic and tell them no reprints, and point out the fact that they seemed satisfied when the...

Just Google fleur-de-lis vector. Fred also has them on his site: http://www.allcompu.com/IFPro4/cgi-bin/ImageFolio4/imageFolio.cgi?direct=Plotter_Art_Originals

I think it looks backwards. I realize that the dotted lines are supposed to convey motion, but knowing that the nib is where a line comes from when using an ink pen, this looks like the end of the pen is making a choppy line (something that really sucks when you are using a real ink pen) If...

Please adjust your kerning. A pet peeve of mine of fire trucks is abbreviations. Spell out Established 1954, at the bottom of the layout. I would not use a script. Use a gothic typestyle. I'd also eliminate the sideways fleur-de-lis inside the circle, the monogram would stand out better on a...

I never really do them, but there are some ready-made: http://haroldsfonts.com/groups/monograms/ If I had to, I would just hand letter or use one of Steve C's pretty scripts. http://artandsignstudio.com/fonts.html Love....Jill

Thanks Bob. :loveya: I started out as an artist, By the time I was in Kindergarten I realized that it was something I just knew how to do. By first grade, and every grade thereafter, I won awards for my drawings and even a scholarship to a weekly art class. Which I hated, because there were...

Doesn't Lustreboard come in a dark green color? I'd opt for the SignGold, use the Florentine to hide the piecing. Engine Turned has a certain grain and if you piece that, the difference will show. I had good luck with the Oraleaf stuff but it costs as much as SignGold. I personally would...

Second one...if you made the red a maroon and the blue more navy and the white creamier. (that sounds gross) But in other words, antique it a little bit. Love....Jill PS The outline is wonky by the H in Christmas. Maybe try the dreaded Old English on the word Christmas.

Sounds like your theta belt might be going bad. Love....Jill

I'd make a paint mask with Oracal 810 and use the Ronan Aqua Leaf. It's less expensive for you but will last longer than any imitation gold vinyl, other than SignGold. They do sell striping and if you get the $99 starter kit it's enough to letter a small to medium sized sign. I priced out the...

What a c*nt. :rock-n-roll: Did you show her that font in caps and lower case and not stretched/squished? (I had something along these same lines, it's the UGLIEST sign I've ever made, and the lady was ecstatic over it) Love....Jill
