Hi Ya'll,
I have two businesses. A+ Sign Gal and Caricature Creations by the Okie Artist. I have been in the sign business since the gerber 4b if that tells you anything. A long time. I started out in the sign industry in California doing window splashes and built a full time business painting windows. Customers started asking for window lettering with vinyl and other signage. I met a lady at the right time the became my mentor. Aileen Alves started cutting vinyl on her gerber 4B for me to put on windows. She didn't want to go out and install vinyl. Eventially I had my own equipment and the rest is history. In our shop here in Oklahoma we do signs and banners using vinly, digital, and thremal printing. I bought a Mutoh falcon Jr. three years ago and as an artist I am having a blast. I have been able to incorporate my own cartoons and caricatures of my clients into my signs. I am currently looking to upgrade equipment again and buy a large format laminator so I can do vehicle wraps. I went to the SGIA show in Texas last month and bought a sublimation printer.I also upgraded corel draw and added alien skins. I can't wait to find time to play with the new toys. We pride outselves in keeping up with technology and keeping a creative edge to stay ahead of the competition.
With Caricature Creations I book events and festivals to entertain drawing live caricatures using the airbrush for color. I also do studio work and sell my caricatures with rights for customers to use on their signage.
Well I guess you know enough about me now.
I'm looking forward to being an active member of this forum that I was refered to at the SGIA show.
