Hi aj,
Always nice to hear about another paint pusher from the UK, I'm based in Yorkshire, but travel throughout the country splashing the paint and gilding the glass, this is a great site with some very talented people, welcome and enjoy ! Brian.

Hi all!
Im based in Yeovil in Somerset but im from Bognor Regis in Sussex. I learnt my lettering from Rob Beckinsale, when we were at Hall Signs.

The oval hanging sign is all one shot. The name is in metallic silver. Ive been working on my own since early on this year, but ive managed to pick up quite a few jobs! Im going to learn stained glass work so I can offer that to customers as well. I have been getting enquiries about internal projects like marbling and wood effects. Im determined to make this work.

Seeya Andy
