  2. Need help with pricing?

    Is it Rev Clark Butler or Rev Butler Clark? He has it both ways in the letter. I think you should donate it. Just get his shipping information and tell him that you'll donate the plaques and the shipping. And... you feel that this is such a worthy cause that you'd like to fly over and help him...

  4. Bending Over Backward for Customers

    I'm going to echo a bit what BillCt2 said previously. You have decent illustrative skills and so so design skills. You could speed up your layout/production time tremendously by getting your boss to invest in some good quality clipart. I can draw and cartoon and all that stuff, but for an item...
  5. Sometimes you just shake your head and laugh...

    I'm pretty sure this was neither produced or installed by a licensed or even unlicensed sign shop. I live in the middle of Cricut/cheep-plotter country, so someone cut their own vinyl, or had their neighbor/mother/brother/friend cut them and then sent the son and his buddies out to stick it up...
  6. Sometimes you just shake your head and laugh...

    My version of lending a hand would be to tell them that it would have been much easier and not all that much more expensive to adhere their letters to some corex and then staple it to the sign face. As far as climbing up the ladder... I was wearing heels and my ice cream would have melted...
  7. Sometimes you just shake your head and laugh...

    Driving into town on Saturday, I had the opportunity of watching the circus which was the installation of this sign. There were about 5 guys, 3 pickup trucks 2 ladders and a lot of confusion and head scratching. The empty sign posts and surface have been on this corner for many years. This...
  8. Awesome! Got my first sample pencil!

    Is that blood on that letter? That poor man. Imagine the stress and the dedication he's showing in going forth with this undertaking. Or it could be chocolate frosting from a donut...

  10. How long have you been in the Sign Business?

    Started with handlettering my dad's tow trucks back in highschool in '77, then picked up the airbrush and have been painting stuff ever since. Opened my shop in '97, bought a plotter that's still in use and haven't had a 'real' job since.

  14. outlook express - new messages go straight to deleted folder?

    Microsoft is no longer supporting OutLook Express, so if you are trying to receive Hotmail or something like it, you'll have to set it up as a pop3 email account. Don't know if that has anything to do with what you're experiencing or not.

  17. Buying Creative Suite privately

    I purchased CS3 Creative Suite from an individual on ebay a year or so ago. I was able to pick it up for about 600.00 (Yay!) and it was/is a legitimate copy. We did our homework, spoke to the seller before bidding and also spoke to Adobe customer service to make sure it was something that would...

  19. Too much paper feed on Summa!!

    I'm not using a summa cutter, but my plotter has a setting for pre-measuring the material (called auto unroll media on my machine), which means it's feeds out a certain amount and then goes back to cut and then does it again. Check your manual and see if you have a setting like that which has...
