Hello everyone!
I'm Steve, I'm 22 and hail from Portsmouth, Ohio. I got into vinyl a few years ago, mainly making decals for car-clubs and lettering/store-hours for local businesses. After a much too long hiatus, I'm back. Hopefully, I'll be able to pay for books with my little business as I'm going to college to become a Civil Engineer.
I love pinstriping. I'm getting ready to get some brushes and learn the trade. So far, my pinstriping designs are only on paper, but so far its a pretty good way to learn a steady hand techniques. I feel drawn to learn the old ways of signmaking as well because its part of our history and a dying art due to the digital age. Its still a treat to find hand-painted lettering when I'm out in the field.
I guess that just about covers everything. My cutter is a Roland STX-8 (12") vinyl cutter with a maximum cutting width of 9.8 inches. Since 99% of my graphics are currently less than 8" wide, it gets the job done.
