This what I was thinking too. Even if Maui imposed over part of the illustratiom. Then you can do "Grocery service" in one line around the bottom, even if it was more of a condensed block letter.

Welcome from Down-Under, and be sure to check your spelling before selling signs.

Thanks Stacy, and to Jill for the laugh, and may it be a great new year for everyone. My promise to myself is for me and the wife go to Las Vegas in April for the ISA show. hope to meet some 101'ers there.

Probably not. down the road the surface will "crocodile" because you are using 2 different mediums. The enamel will be drying out at a slower rate than the latex and will pull it open into cracks that look like a crocodile's skin, thus the name.

+1. This is the only way to go. The machine will pay for itself after the first truck. Remember though that vinyl goes on faster than it comes off so charge accordingly.:thumb:

Sorry to read this Joe. I have been unable to get on the Skype group lately So I I'll say it here. All the best for a quick recovery and get back up "n kick'n real soon.

Welcome back from Down-Under.

I have been a bit busy the last few weeks and just came in to have a quick look. It sure brightened my day to see your post Arlo. Welcome back and I wish you a merry Christmas with your family and friends and may you have a healthier new year.. You can't keep a good man down!

Good stuff Steve. There has never been a dud A&S font. I can't wait.

Welcome from sunny Queensland where as you the whole state is flooded. What was your dad's name Elio? Was he in the Signcraftsmen's association. I may have known him. I joined back in 1976. I know a lot of the members from all over the east coast. Anyway good luck and have fun on this site. We...

And....water based paint????????????:wink:

Very sorry to hear that. I say the best way for printing is outsourcing. Every week I have local guys sending me stuff wanting my work, but why would I help prop up my opposition?? The customer comes in, I do the design. get it approved, put on 300%, send it the print broker in the city who has...

Brian and Jeff Harvey come over from time to time for Letterhead meets.

Welcome from over the pond. I guess you would know Brian Fairchild??

I didn't spot any A&S fonts but I think it was Steve playing the guitar in the musical strip!!

My bet is that theasy way would be to print the fabric and have it sewn after. I have seen it done with flowers on Hawaiaan design shirts.

hahahaha, and whoever made up the "2 font rule" needs shooting. Goes back to the days of Signwriting using your style and not "fonts". I jhave some artwork in my archive by John deaton using several fonts that I have kept for years and it would blow the socks off that theory. If the worst comes...

Here's one I just sent out for printing. I still love hand painting them but the cost is just not feasible, and I have stopped working for fun. I am getting sick of the trade, I would rather go ride my bike or play golf.:thumb:

Hightop if you are going to cut, then why not cut a mask and paint it? That way you can have as much color as you like and also even some blends. Just a thought.

Signgal, I think many things may have changed Nawlins since Katrina came visiting.. I have not been back since.
