  1. La Bajada Hill, recreating a lost 100 year old sign

    I was fortunate enough to get to recreate a long lost 100 year old Route 66 sign outside of Albuquerque New Mexico. I am not a sign painter, honestly I have never hand painted a sign. The customer whom I have done other sign work for, is also a loose acquaintance. He is a friend of mine on...
  2. Metal 2'x3' screen printing needed (old lost route 66 sign)

    Whats up guys? It's been too long. I hope all my old friends here are doing well. Anyway I was commissioned to paint a long lost Route 66 sign.

  4. What's your biggest signmaking mistake

    I was reminded of one today and there's no way I'm alone.... hopefully I actually have 2 noteworthy mistakes: In 1998 when Mark McGwire was chasing Roger Maris's homerun record we made a banner that must of been 15'x75' and it had big # banners so they could change it as he hit more. It was on...
  5. Santa just left my shop

    Every year we go to Van Maur to get my sons picture taken with Santa. We were eating lunch and who pops in? The jolly old elf, that's who. He said that Missouri is not letting him fly his sleigh and reindeer across town on any other night but Xmas eve so we need to make him magnets for his...
  6. Another "Got to love customers"

    I stated in another thread about this odd new customer we have. He was referred to me by one of our top customers so I have been as accepting of his oddness as possible. He is a middle guy for another company that the signs were made for. Prior to today he has been sending me random emails that...
  7. 4 color cut vinyl sign (video)

    Since my printer is out of commission I looked at my "To Do" list and figured I could do this the old fashion way. Well technically not old fashion but I never do signs like this without printing anymore. It was actually more enjoyable than just printing and slapping it on. It took a while...
  8. Sign Painters (official trailer)

    I never saw this on here and I am here a lot. Sorry if it is a re-post. Looks great and I respect all in the craft, I'd much rather be a old drunk sign painter. P.S. A couple of curse words http://vimeo.com/61006621#
  9. Me & my mutoh are freaking out

    Mutoh VJ1204 with Flexi rip When it prints it starts shifting to the left with every pass. Then it prints grey all the way across and off the roll sometimes printing a CMYK patch randomly. This has happened in the past and a quick encoder strip cleaning usually fixes the problem. This time not...

    Just got my first little league sponsor banner request of 2013.

And now with everyone being a photographer because their...

  19. Font needed for Han Solo in carbonite plaque

    I have a client with a life size Han Solo, it is on display but the plaque is too small and hard to read. Not a huge $ maker and I have already spent too much time finding the font. They don't think they can change the font or the style of plaque so they want it made larger. I can come close but...
  20. Shop-Made Xmas Gifts

    My wife's side of the fam decided to do homemade gifts for the exchange this year. I had been messing around with the brushes app on my IPhone and was more than excited to put it to good use.
