Winter Time

Is the best time in Canada and if you do not think so you are missing out!

I had the pleasure of lettering a long time friends Sled late last night, it was parked just long enough for the reg numbers to be redone.

Mexican painted signs

In October myself the wife and kids went to Mexico for some fun and sun. I love Mexico and always enjoy seeing all the hand painted signs through out the country side, they are everywhere.

We took a day trip into an old Spanish village and I could have spent all day walking around just looking at hand painted signs (we had 55mins), it would take months of driving around Ontario to find even a quarter of the signs I saw in one day.

We have the same vinyl signs slapped up everywhere.

Be unique and install a hand painted sign, I know just the person to do it ;)

Show your true colors and be unique!

First paint in months

I have to admit I have not been able to paint for months, even with doctors orders to stay home most of December the pain has shot my energy and the pills have shot my mind. I have not been able to paint a damn thing. 

This is how I feel. 

I'm happy to have painted but the lettering screams do over!

Target Canada

It's time to build a .ca, I have been getting lots of traffic from the USA, China, as well as Europe. The logs do not lie, I have been going over the logs a lot in the last couple months and if you are reading this what are your thoughts on the subject of local dot.coms.

In my effort to attract more Canadian customers, I will setup a .ca and hope it will get more traction with Google and fellow Canadians, focusing on my local municipality.

What do you think??

Sammy Hagar T-Bucket

I had the opportunity to go to the Hard Rock Hotel in Punta Cana and in one of the Lobbies is this 1926 Ford T-Bucket, own by Sammy Hagar.

Pinstriped flames down the sides, as well as accents front and back.

And a 58 Vett motor, it screams old school cool!

Hand Painted Signs

I have not been working hard enough for my reads, I painted a sign over the weekend, installed it and do not have one picture of this new hand painted sign to show off.

I'm sorry and will work harder to get you pictures and maybe a video here and there for you to see.

I did however do some maintenance on my brushes, its a tip I got from Alan Johnson.
In a metal brownie tray, pour some thinner (mineral spirits) in the bottom, place your brushes in the tray and let the soak. All the paint will work out and leave them nice and clean for the next time you use them.

PS. some chemicals can be harmful to real hair brushes so please, do your home work.

Happy Halloween

Awesome night out with the kids and family!

Ed Hamburger

Tonight's letter job was on an old original stock class drag car, I was asked to add the 'Hamburger' back on two sides of this Duster! It was very cool working on this old car!
The owner has taken so much time and dedication to get it back to its original state, finding and talking with past owners and even getting original parts to put back on to this old girl.
Life is good!
