Hey guys, moving back to the southern California (Costa Mesa, Newport, Laguna Beach, Irvine, Dana Point) area and will be looking for a job as a signpainter and pinstriper. I apprenticed under Harry Henkel and have learned numerous things from Gary Jensen, Alan Johnson as well as Howie Nisgor and Joe Sulpy Sr. I know the Gerber Edge, Graphix Advantage software, learned to Gold Leaf on glass from Brendon Brandon and have dabbled with the chisels too. I have my bachelors degree in Graphic Design and am dedicated to hard work and craftsmanship. We will be moving out there in late August or September (if all goes as planned) and are looking at places in Dana Point (I used to live in Laguna Beach on Moss Point). Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Doug Fielder.

Doug, most everyone I know in that area has spent much of their life trying to get out of there. What is the draw for you?
There is more work there than imaginable though. You might contact Disney too.

Rick, Trust me on this one, getting out of NJ and back to Laguna Beach is definitely the way to go!
NJ is better than a lot of places out there but given the choice I'll still take CA.
