Been a while.

Post by Rick Janzen »

It's been a while since I dropped in to say hi. It's amazing how time just seems to slip by. I have dropped by as a lurker from time to time and have seen some great looking work posted. I also enjoyed the pictures Mike posted on past letterhead meets. Most of you spend your time making stunning signs, I seem to spend my time making them look old. For the last year or so, I've been involved in a personal project, making a small documentary called Faded Paint...The Vanishing Sign Painter. It's not about how to paint signs, but about people that spent the lives painting signs day to day. It's been a very interesting project, listening to their stories and such. If you get a chance, you can see some short clips on my blog at: http://streamlinestudios.blogspot.com or on vimeo at: http://vimeo.com/19366659. Thanks
