So let me ask you Round Man, if suddenly paint and brushes weren't available tomorrow do you have a giant field of flax planted somewhere so you can make your own linseed oil? Got your semi-precious stones and other items stored so you'll be able to grind your own pigments? Got Russian...

No Roundman, nobody asked but being the judgemental sumbitch I am I thought I'd offer it up anyway. My point is I'm not ready for a meteor strike, I'm not ready for an alien invasion, I'm not prepared for the dam 2 miles from my house to collapse, I'm not prepared to have an arm amputated...

The questions is absolutely ridiculous. This new holier than thou, I can handletter and you can't trend that popped up here today is F'ING RIDICULOUS. To answer your question...SURE, it would survive. I'd lock the f'ing doors because nobody else in downtown Montgomery would be open meaning...

I'm kind of partial to Heaths in post 51. Change the "water" to a plate shape and make the cut out in the taco back into a bite mark and I think you've got something. I just think the bite mark "sells" the whole thing. Caleb, what you submitted is pretty sweet, too....a definite improvement...

You don't think they should protect their property?

Yeah, I've got that guy....he's called my Dad. He's been here for a couple of hours today hanging out, looking through cabinets, picking at stuff and asking dumb questions. His quote..."I was bored and can't find anything else to do so Ithought I'd come help you get caught up." He's about 10...

That's me. I've been fighting the "technician" battle since the day I bought the shop.

It was an option when I started the account and I can't remember why I didn't take it. I've got it now tied into my savings account, then onto a VISA if the savings account won't cover it. It all really boiled down to me leaving more money in the checking account and to stop screwing around...

What really pisses me off is the customer I had earlier this year. Wrote me a check for $850, I deposited it and wrote checks on that money (yes there is usually only about $1000 in the shop checking account) 10 days later the guys check had been rejected by his bank twice so my bank took that...

Love him standing there telling me I can't see yellow on my RGB television while I'm looking at a yellow fish.

Looks like Phenix American, the GOT MILK? font

It's not really camping if you're not in a tent on the ground. Last summer we camped one night in a local state park that had running water and power outlets in the "primitive" campsites. The people next to us had a microwave, a coffee maker, two lamps and a space heater in their giant tent.

The man's so good he identifies fonts he doesn't know!

Just remember that every minute of design time you give away comes straight out of the profit stack, not the cost of doing business stack. You give away 15 minutes a day that's 65 hours of billable time a year you've given away. At $60 an hour that's the difference between vacation at the...

You are your problem. Tell them up front that their banner is X dollars with one photograph and each additional picture will add X dollars to the cost for layout time. If they know right off the bat that putting that picture of long lost Aunt Suzie on there is gonna cost an extra $20 they'll...

As an experiment in being lazy I mounted a 4x8 digital print to a piece of unprimed, unpainted MDO and put edge banding on it with silicone. My thinking was the sign was only going to be up a couple months and this was an excellent opportunity to try something new. Felt like it stuck damn...

You're kidding, right? Just because I can buy full color banners for around $1.50 per square foot doesn't mean I'm selling them for $2.00. My minimum markup would be 100%, usually on banners it's 300-400% which puts me right in line with most of the shops locally. Corrugated plastic yard...

Pat needs to move his shop out of downtown. Every charity, political action committee, feel good government project and government office in town along with two housing projects and the police station are within 10 minutes of here. 90% of government workers (federal, state, county, city) in...

Yes, part three. Last summer I did four banners and 50 yard signs for a customer. I quoted the job, she loved the price and the layouts, she paid for the job and we went to work. Somewhere along the way it dawned on me that the price just didn't seem right. Turns out I'd quoted her the exact...
