Some New Weapons

I've been doing a lot of fill in with my good lettering brushes and had to replace one (expensive)... So I bought a set of mixed hair brushes 169's, Mack has made these a cost effective alternative to the all natural brushes and there not bad just did a hour of fill ins... More spring then the 189's great for the carved letters I've been painting.

Sign of my time.

These sign is my current work and nemesis, it's all in primer, four coats in total and has been a lot of fun.  The raised letters are not glued down yet, name plates are removable and all lettering will be 23k Gold leaf.   Posts flank the sides and the bottom is trimmed and detailed (not in the picture).   As with all my work I have used re-purposed hardwood for all the trim.  The letters are all CNC'd from HDU and the sign board is MDO, both have a 10 year warranty for indoor and outdoor use. So the sign will keep people's attention for a long time.

On Track

 
A customer dropped off his Suzuki street fighter for pinstriping and man I'v had a blast coming up with some cool lines to suit this machine.  Unfortunately at this time I'm swore to secrecy and can't post pictures, but once the owner has the press all taken care of, I'll through some up.
