Hello- to all you signwriters across the big pond, I've been painting signs
since 1952,straight after 3 years at art school,(I think I'm getting the hang of it now).
All my work is hand painted, don't touch vinyl (can't stand the stuff)
I do mainly vehicles,pub signs and gold leaf windows, I'll write on
anything(don't stand still near me).Have just done a bar in spain with a Marilyn Monroe theme.
Keep up the good work and encourage everyone who wants to be a
part of this wonderful craft of lettering.
regards from an english oldtimer.
