  1. Sign Painter the Movie, panel discussion

    I'm with Dan on this one! I don't think it helps our industry to be portrayed as the old stereotype of "Joe Wino". I think most good, working sign shops HAVE to be sober and "with it" to make a living. That doesn't mean that you should never ever drink but to be portrayed as a drunk or high...

  5. You want vinyl for your Cricut?

    I just had a lady in, wanted to know if she could buy scraps for her Cricut. She said the "videos online" said to go to your local sign shop and they would give you their scraps! WHAT?! I told her I couldn't sell supplies as I was not a retail store and then I would have to pay sales tax on...

  7. What glue do I use?

    I thought this was a handy site to tell people what glue to use to glue this to that. You just type in metal to glass (or whatever) and it gives you the type of glue you should use. :smile: http://www.thistothat.com/
  8. Throwback Thursday: post your first set of wheels.

    I had just graduated from college and had never had my own car. I had a job teaching art in a local grade/high school so I could afford a car! However this was all I could afford...I had it till about 1980 and it was named "Polly Pinto"!
  9. tell us about your side/fun projects

  10. New Olive Garden Logo...

    Well the one positive I see is that now they actually are using the olives! I always thought using grapes was strange. I know it imples the wine they push but I always though about as if they called it "Apple Barn" and put Oranges on there.
  11. A new scam...

    It amazes me the scams that people come up with. We've all had the minister ordering 100 banners or the "click here and I will send you a million dollars" but this one really annoyed me today! How sad people have to prey on others like this!! Hubbell Simply Compassionate Death...
  12. Hey Fellers and Montroy.

    Who sells Oracal!? I can't get it from Grimco. They don't carry it.
  13. Christmas gifts for customers on the nice list.

    We try to incorporate what WE do into the gift. Every year is different. Examples: We bought a 1-2qt. glass container with a lid and then put their logo on it and fill it with candy. We did a framed version of their logo to put up in their office. One year we found these signpainter...

  15. Brick Wall Mural

    Now I'm just curious...So this is a "temporary" installation. So in a year when you go to take it down, how hard is that? And when you DO get it off, does it leave a "gluey" residue (like on a vehicle) that you wil not be able to get off the brick?:omg: Has anyone had experince with this?
  16. What do I do?!

    "Joe, you stated your parents business has gone to court for bad pay from a customer." Just so you know Gino, this is NOT his parents' business. It is OUR business. Our sons are every bit as much a partner as we are. We all share the business equally. I have good kids and I don't know where...

    This is just in from the sign painter movie screening in Champaign IL a few weeks ago. :smile: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khkCXlteg5o&amp=&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DkhkCXlteg5o&app=desktop
  18. classic car dealership and garage logo

    MY only comment when I saw it was wait till the customers mother and wife saw their new logo! It is a father and son team making the decisions at this point but the wife/mom probably hasn't seen it yet. We will see what happens then. I know her! :-) She generally "in charge".:noway:
