My thanks go's out to Larry for posting this photo for me.When it comes to posting photos I am totally inept.
I just finished this piece this week end in between trying to find any info I could about the Lodi wall dog meet.There where very limited photos of the event until Tuesday.Do to total lack of funds I could not attend.It was nice to see so many friends there having a great time all thanks to Tony Segal.
Back to the "Knights of the Temple",This piece started from an old lettering book of my dads .I always like the font and copy so I hand digetized it.Made a vinyl mask,The boarder came from Mike Jacksons chip art cd,Glue chipped and mirrored it,Painted the block side of the lettering,crakel finished and aged the background.Painted the shadows.Gave the background 3 coats of orange shellac and the guilded it with 18k gold.It also has abalone insets and 23k guilded watch crystals.
My wife says "There another one for my sign mueseum".

very nice piece Roderick ! Like to see a few closeups.........Just curious, why did you use vinyl as a mask rather then paintmask ?

[Roderick Treece]

Vance,
In fact I did use spray mask.As a Guy that doesn't do much vynil work I tend to lump all machine cuts material into one catagory which is why I said vinyl fo my mask.As for more photo details I will have to ask larry if he would post more for me.I'll get back to you on that
Thanks Roderick
