  1. Is there anything you won't print/paint?

    I once failed at talking a kid out of putting that in his window. He went into a tirade about it being free speech and the police couldn't do anything about it. My shop is two blocks from the police station on the busiest street in downtown. He pulled out of the parking lot....and was pulled...
  2. Removing left behind Adhesive...

    Other than the fact you look like a hack and smell like gas for the rest of the day.
  3. So how do you learn to letter by hand?

    Hey, asshole, pay attention: I WANT TO LEARN TO HANDLETTER. There, is that too hard to understand? You need me to translate that into Canadian for you? "I WANT TO LEARN TO HANDLETTER, EH?" I never said anything about making a living at it, I never said anything about even offering the...

    When you get ready to license it take the eye back out, stick a knife in the mouth and call it a pirate! Dude, that's awesome work. If they don't like it kick them in the shins.
  5. The wonders of "nephew art".....

    ...and he'll look at that, call his nephew and tell him "Hey, the sign guy managed to copy your artwork exactly. You did a great job!" then tell you "it's cheaper because I had the artwork, right?"

  8. So how do you learn to letter by hand?

    In 1987 I was offered a job in a sign shop as an apprentice to an unbelievable painter. I turned it down because every sign guy I'd ever met was an alcoholic shoplifter stealing materials from the art supply store I worked in plus I was in college for advertising so the sign business was...
  9. So how do you learn to letter by hand?

    A grungy old hood runs $45. A new sheet of .032 aluminum runs $40. I think I'll stick with the aluminum. :ROFLMAO:

  11. So how do you learn to letter by hand?

    I've got lettering brushes. I've got lettering paint. I've got paint materials. Now I just need some basic instructions. Any books, videos, or websites you can suggest?
  12. Another supplier for these frames?

    A picture might help. Got a link?
  13. tavern logo and graphic

    Too many effects trying to hide a poor layout.
  14. Stealth wrap concept

    Problem 1: "get a more intricate design" which is the EXACT reason 99% of the wraps in the world are worthless. The wrap he did is clean and simple, a hell of a lot more valuable image than it would have been with 5 bad photos, some flames, and a diamond plate pattern on the lettering...

  16. Need a supplier for fabric type digitally printed backdrops

    No, I'm not talking about vinyl banner material before anybody tries telling me that will work. I've got a customer than needs an 8' x 12' backdrop with a 3" rod pocket at the top printed. She's looking for something with a soft fabric feel to it printed in a photo gray with their logo in the...
  17. Anyone capable of converting a CS5 file to CS3 tonight?

    I was thinking eventually she'd get over it and I'd still have the Illustrator upgrade until my neighbor pointed out that if I upgraded Illustrator she might upgrade who she's sleeping with. Illustrator can wait.

    :ROFLMAO:Quote of the day!
  19. Anyone capable of converting a CS5 file to CS3 tonight?

    Look, I expected you to sit by the computer and wait all day for me to email you the file. The nerve of you trying to run a business instead of bowing to my needs. Seriously, thanks for the offer and for sending the file. The CS5 demo I downloaded has done nothing but made me want to spend...
  20. Sign Vandalism

    Okay, I know you've moved on from trying to clean the paint off but I've got to ask...did you try vodka? I've always been amazed at how well it stripped spray paint.
