As others have said you can take a good picture then bring it into Illustrator for rendering. I have a Mustang GT nearly completed. Not stellar work, but it is doable. Takes hours though. I pen trace major shapes on the pic and move them into another area for reassembly. These shapes get...

Only set time I have is quitting time which is 5p.m. That's when the wife gets home. I've also invoked the Ward and June cleaver rule. We try to have as many sit down together at the table meals as possible. No phone, TV, music or other distractions, nothing but true face time.

On one job I actually used water on IJ180. Only way to keep it cool enough so it wasn't like installing wet tissue paper. Another was a boat transom job. Direct sun, close to 90 degrees. We used Rapid Tac to keep the air release vinyl from welding to the surface as soon as it touched. In...

We got one of our Rottie pups from a woman that does pointillism. Beautiful work although not to the degree of the examples shown.

Yes, she got it full of mud delivering products to job sites.

Many businesses in my area are turning to temp agencies for new hires. If the newb isn't good at their job it is simple to get rid of them.

Steam pressure washer should rip them right off. Steam is the key. Clients daughter removed the graphics off of a shop truck with one. I always laugh when I think about it. Why wouldn't you stop after the first side?:confused:

Trend is everyone looking for the high paying job where they don't have to be responsible for anything, can be on their phone all day, and show up whenever they want. Yes, I'm painting with broad strokes, but go out and talk to your clients. Same issues you're experiencing.

Fair enough, but I have a different opinion having run several AMD based systems through the years. My experience has been they are every bit as capable as Intel products at a better price point. My latest rig runs a top tier AMD Black Series CPU. It was built locally by an independent shop...

Were the lines, dampers, and head purged?

No, you just want to send all the "tire kickers" to him which will put him out of business. You are a crafty devil.:D:D:D

Wonder what the other shops in town think of me? I needed a new PC and walked into the local store. Owner came out and asked what I needed. I told him and he said: "Signs huh, want to do my windows"? I said: "Yes." He asks: "When can you have it done"? "Last shop was here months ago, took...

Never used Rapid Remover, but now I want to try it. I've been using Orange Peel for years and really like it.

Lettering boat transoms and installing boot stripes is crazy this year on top of the other work that comes in. We did three transoms and a boot stripe then nothing for a few weeks. Now I have seven transoms and a boot stripe pending approval. Then there's trucks, banners, printing for another...

We run a Summa also and use Ai strokes for cut lines. Just make sure they are 0.25 point. I noticed that it ran twice when doing a pen plot so I checked the file. Yup, 2 pt stroke.

My wife sneaks behind my back, schedules the vacation, then tells me when we're leaving. Absolute truth. She has too or I probably wouldn't go.

"Bleed" your banners 2" in length and width. Trim to color. Use 2" wide straight edge and make a line 2" from cut edge. Apply tape to edge of banner and fold to line. Perfect every time.

Why?

Absolutely despise hearing: "I kinda used this tool" or another all time favorite "You sort of do it like this" You either do or don't!!!!!:banghead: I don't allow that in my classroom. I tell them it sounds as if you don't have any confidence in your work.

Single 27" IPS display. Works for now. I like it for schoolwork since I can have two papers open side by side. 55" 4K in the office is great for seeing the RIP window from across the room.
