  1. Greetings from Mike Jackson

    Add me to the welcome and fan list. Glad to have you here. We can all benefit from picking your brain! Love....Jill
  2. Your design level...

    When I first started painting signs I thought I was the shizzit till I went to a Letterhead meet and realized all my signs looked like sh!t. I have gradually applied what I learned in high school art classes as well as art school, to what I learned from mentors in this trade and the Mike Stevens...
  3. forum acting differently

    Here too. Sometimes I get the main screen when I enter the site and the scroll bar remains unscrollable. Or it freezes after I think I post. Love...Jill
  4. Throwing myself to the wolves

    Here's a quick mock-up idea (very trite & rudimentary) I did a Google image search for movie lights and tried to build one with simple shapes. I couldn't remember the secondary copy so I just guessed. Shovel, that font is my Bank Gothic.
  5. font id

    Reminds me of Chicago Style from Sign DNA. Love....Jill
  6. customers

    Yes. I have had a customer since my BC days (before computers) He is just the nicest guy around. He's funny, he's sweet, and he listens to me. Sometimes he will send me goofy little emails. I have invited to his parties before (his wife is just as nice) and he is more than a customer, he's a...
  7. Throwing myself to the wolves

    OK first of all. Before I enlarged it to see just what that tagline said, I thought the main font was REALLY weak/wimpy/generic. No special effect would help it have any balls. If anything use a bolder version of it, no effects, maybe a nice black outline on it. I would go for a more...
  8. I will be unavailable from.....

    I have always wanted to see some Mayan ruins. I would definitely try to check those out. Scuba diving, not so much. And Si, there are cobwebs on my playpen. :D I am mainly bummed that I have to miss the World of Wheels! Big Al, make sure you pack the sunscreen and Pepto! Have an umbrella...
  9. New competition!

    "Mah culluhs ah Blush and Bashful!" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnz94wSOw40 (skip to the 1:10 mark) Can you imagine the crap they will have to put up with? :) Maybe the lady who wanted the lighted American flag sign that says Happy Birthday Emily will call them, since I didn't have one...
  10. New competition!

    Will they specialize in magnetic JUST MARRIED signs? Banners with pix of the happy couple for use at the reception? Just think of all the Bridezilla-type clients they are going to get. They can have 'em! Love....Jill
  11. I will be unavailable from.....

    So will I! Jan 21st till whenever I get home from the hospital. Getting the old uterus taken out. Or womb if you prefer. Wanna switch places? Sounds like you'll be having more fun, altho I do get a morphine pumps and pain pills. Love....Jill
  12. Just Curious

    I work outta that there house. :) This is my 25th year of business, I have been able to be a stay at home mom and raised 3 kids (26,22,14) while painting signs then eventually getting a plotter. ...and they all still live here. Just spent 6 hours yesterday trying to clean my oldest son's...
  13. Pittsburgh World of Wheels 2010

    Yet another bump! Even if someone is looking for something to do this weekend, it is a fun place to check out. The auctioneer stopped by and picked up my panel for the auction on Saturday. I am not a pinstriper so I usually just paint silly little signs. The auction benefits The Pittsburgh...
  14. I'm Back

    Rick I really like your idea, it looks very concise and interesting.
  15. I'm Back

    It still has a huge hole in it (the X) It seems also that you are relying on an outline to save the layout. Here's a quickie suggestion. I really wanted to add the dreaded white glow but I stopped myself. Dan I will put away my fishing pole. Rick I dunno if this is rave-ish or not but I...
  16. I'm Back

    I repeat my earlier suggestions about the X. There are big holes in that layout. Try putting it all on one line, lose the whole X idea, and make Mixer in a script. Not that I'm a big designer or anything.
  17. Lawyer wants orange sign.........need some advice!!

    What about navy rather than teal? (is the border & florish burnt orange? I can't tell) The copy needs to be a little bit smaller especially his name. I would use the same font as for the LAW FIRM part and center justify everything. (You'd have to adjust your rule lines) Lawyers like...
  18. I'm Back

    What's the Vicks for? It reads really awkwardly. It is not a bad idea, but I would move the "X" down and snug up the mi er into the waist of the X. Then try BLACK LIGHT on top. Love....Jill
  19. 5 mil opaque coroplast

    I can get it from either Glantz or Pioneer Supply Co. Love....Jill
  20. Pittsburgh World of Wheels 2010

    Another bump! I am halfway done with my donor panel I'm sending along to the auction. Unfortunately I cannot go to the show this year. :(
