yeah i was a dumbass...didn't bring a DVD to pop in it. Didn't work, OK correct. But the absolutely stellar customer service, shipping and service made it work in a couple of days. All on a purchased used computer. In all of my 5 macs, from a Beige G3 that i use for Flexisign operating on OS...

I'm a cheap bastard using Macs and while i'm behind on the newest hardware. i've pretty much bought used older Macs (i have 3 G4's and a 2006 pre-Intel G5 tower) except my MacBook...which was bought off craigslist for a deal, still under Apple warrantee. The macbook's DVD drive didn't work and i...

i'd tell her to find another pigeon....F-em! To her they are a on-time use, throwaway item...i'd say ed-u-ma-cate her and say you changed your mind! Besides, when you do stuff like that, all it does is get solicitations to do MORE free stuff....no good deed goes unpunished... Tim

hey you never know maybe he was there BEFORE you....maybe he's bitching about somebody on this sign forum using your/his name!!! That's the breaks in this internet based business model....pretty easy to start a FB page or get a website...nothing legal required. Tim

what color is the vehicle? What color is the lettering? Factory paint? All things you gotta know. Easy off will really screw up Peterbilt Metallics. If its a repaint all bets are off. Factory (baked) white will usually be OK but ghost and staining can still be present. Red One-Shot often leaves...

I kinda like the top one. Dont think the bottom one conveys the right message, maybe too euro looking? The top one portrays both simplicity and strength to me. Meaning 1a , 2c and 3b... Tim

here is a Camaro with KoK Tangelo Pearl stripes i did. Looks waaaaay better than vinyl. Cleared the whole hood and trunk/spoiler too-buried the graphic. Smooooooove....... Tim

book im gonna order it today!!! My illi skills are suspect. I find myself designing in Flexi cause its pretty simple but Von's very impressive blog/portfolio really won me over. Thanks for the link Rick! Tim

well, i was simply stating this seems to be the sentiment of most old school sign makers. I use you as a shining example of marketing your business correctly. I've also read and studied your books and articles. Because of your teachings, i too try to do add on sales where i can...selling logos...

awesome work on that one (actually all of it is inspiring). I've seen (and done) similar treatments making the linework look like an old blueprint. Love the work posted by yourself and SignManiac. Thanks for posting. Tim

those are bitchen!!! Solid concepts! Tim

ah yes isn't this the truth. In fact anyone wanna buy an old Gerber Signmaker 4? Signpainting/Signmaking kinda used to be a noble trade. Now it's like auto detailing...any schmoe with a bucket, hose and some wax was an instant auto detailer. No different. people with no business being in the...

i think it looks good...fine tune the kerning and stroke widths. I really don't think it needs the flourish underneath. As far as the hand painting goes...CHEAT. Design and layout on the computer and cut a mask with all the outlines. Use a small foam roller for the main color, airbrush wet on...

aren't most Jet's made out of aluminum? Which leaves out Steel altogether? Tim

this is the crux of the issue. It is absolutely essential to have a good/great read in those first few seconds. Your designs are hardly memorable Addie. Nothing stands out in a good way. I still say you are on the right path by posting up examples but you still get really defensive regarding...

ohhhhhhhh you mean besides the Dodge dealer and preferably in a vector format........:Big Laugh sorry my sarcasm got the best of me. Take some photographs and create it. Lay it out with some blue fineline and create it from there. Tim

Well, having thick skin is a plus around here lately. As far as Addie (OP) goes, i went to his website and was severely underwhelmed. I do believe that getting honest criticism and constructive advice is what's needed here. OP tends to get butt hurt by the negativity being tossed around, and...

Technically, Excelsior AND Henderson were owned by Ignaz Schwinn (yes that Schwinn) and the company Arnold, Schwinn and co.If you look real close on some Excelsior and Henderson bikes of that era you can see the familiar round Schwinn quality decal, not unlike what you may have found on a...

i'm happy it's coming out...i have 4 macs in my shop as well as a laptop and i think the ability to sync EVERYTHING will be a plus...i'm using some Samsung smartphone now on Verizon and its a PITA to connect and share data.... Tim
