Celtic Knots

More hand painted sign.













I have the opportunity to work in a local Irish pub,
Walsh's Snug in Newcastle.
I spend the night after hours painting the floor.
It was great fun and close to home!

Health and Safety

This is not an Art post but one of importance.

Paint fumes are a very real danger and I do prefer not to wear a respirators and will always have a fan and door/window open when painting.

Respirators have advanced in the last 20 years sins I have been around the industry of painting there  are everything from half face respirators to full face with powered filters that are on a belt.

I personal us the 3M half face respirators but have a number of 3M GVP cartridges for sale on amazon as they do have a best before date and I will never use the all.  

If you do not wear protective gear please do so, all the safety gear now fits great and why spend your weekends in the emergency when you can enjoy it at home!

Zebra Truck Paint Job

Super fun paint job over the last week, not totally Pinstriping, but Custom Paint just the same. 

Paint a Zebra Car is now off my bucket list. 

The design has function as well as great looks, there were a number of rust spots and rock chips hidden under the strips. 

This was a very rejuvenating project and could not have been done without great customers!

Carved Sign

This is one of many to come!

A test carve on a personal theme, one of reloading my own health and energy.

Hang tight more paint and metal,, coming soon!
