My cousin out in La Mesa CA wants me to send him a set of mags. I have never shipped anything like this. I was thinking of rolling up the mags, cut vinyl lettered side out, sticking them in a leftover tube from 15" vinyl, taping the ends, and mailing 'em. Should I put craft or wax paper...

She wants me to give her a stack of bizcards for on her counter.

Here's their Facebook page. http://www.costumesetc.com/index.php http://www.costumesforsanta.com/index.php I've been doing their exterior window splashes for many years. OK tonight was day two of phase two. I'm going for a more dry brush effect than a wet blend on these.

Hot Hues might be nice. I was at a show with Dewayne Connot and Paul Quinn and they let me try it. It brushed out fine (but they mixed it for me) You have to use their thinners/hardeners but it's pretty much custom. Love.....Jill

Your comment about waiting countless hours hit home with me. I wonder how many minutes of my life I've waited for people who were supposed to stop by yet never even bothered to call and let me know they weren't coming? What about those people for whom I did make the time, who were in an...

Here's phase 2. These are three windows which are no longer used as windows. This was just the first day. I can only do a little bit at a time. The first two are my design the third is from a catalog. The first one was going to be a stark-looking scarecrow with a withered pumpkin head but...

All I can find is this and that ain't it. Love....Jill

I usually don't even answer my phone on weekends. My phone rang just now, and my caller ID showed it was the store I just ran into for groceries yesterday. I figured I'd written a bad check or something! So with my heart pounding, I answered the phone. They ordered three signs. :) PS Nice touch...

I don't care what font it is technically but it is light years ahead of the dreaded Bradly Hand. Looks great!!!! Very clean and sharp. Love....Jill

My interior mural was latex. I wouldn't use latex outside. But then again I wouldn't use 1S either. The murals we painted in Mars in 2002 were a mix of Chromatic bulletin and 1S regular lettering enamels. The first one was all 1S and still looks new. It was primered before the job by an...

Handbags at dawn fellas? While I won't discuss pricing in the open forum, let's just say that for 14 hours work I made what I would make for 154 hours in the deli.

I agree. If the CLOSED sign was up, Farmboy was closed. Yes he should have locked his door, though. Many times I have had that same guy with the same kids come here, wanting a stick family sticker NOW and bitching that their last guy was either out of business or too busy to deal with them...

No, I did not count. I found this realllly cool thing at Wallyworld, in fact it was a whole little kit of these round sponge daubers for stencilling. They made the snowflake part a breeze. I was gonna do each one with a brush, or even cut circles from sponge, then I saw these things. It was the...

Nice work, Bruce. I just completed a mural using the exterior latex sold by True Value, it was nice to work with but did require double coating. I have never thought that clear-coating was a good idea.

Poor wife? I think she knew very well on which side her bread was buttered. That's why she stuck by this sick piece of sh!t. I think she even sounded a bit jealous of the victims, in her testimony, like he was cheating on her with them. I'm sure their marriage was in name only just for show. I...

Really nice looking sign, fits the style of the building perfectly. Love....Jill

Agreed Flamey.

This is for a local costume shop which also is a Christmas novelty shop. They needed a backdrop to display various Christmas trees so they called me. It took me 6 days of painting after work at me "real" job, about 14 hours total. It's 12 feet high at the tallest point and 20 feet long. All...

Sight unseen it's hard to recommend a paint but I will tell you to not use 1-shot. Contact Dennis at Ronan and see what he suggests. They have bulletin and lettering enamels as well as water based paints. Love....Jill
