I'm New Here

Post by Lee Jones »

Hello

I've been working in the sign trade for some time but I've only recently been dabbling in hand-painted work. I work for the family business - my father and grandfather were both signwriters and my great grandfather used to line coaches.

I'm hoping to use this forum to learn a few things and maybe post some things that will hopefully be of interest to some of you.

I keep a blog which I'm using to chart my progress and post on subjects that inspire me within this field.

Hope to speak to some of you soon.

Lee
