Hi Everybody...
Thinking about the upcoming Letterville Panel Swap photos we will all be perusing gave me an idea.
Forgive me if this has been done before, but I would like to see OLD SIGNS. You know, that sign you created, one of the first that made you proud. The one that you look at now and cringe when you remember making it and thinking, "Damn, I'm good...I could do this for a living!"
Come on, here is one of mine...now ya gotta show me yours! Please....

This is vintage 1992, when I had been painting signs for 7 years. It was before Mike Meyer told me about the Mike Stevens book, back when I used to put everything but the kitchen sink onto a sign.
Love- JILL [Thanks]

i see jill beans pic just fine!

Here's the first (and possibly the only) actual sign I made.. put a pen in the plotter to draw out the pattern on paper, then cut that sucka outta 4" thick 3lb/cu. ft. polyurethane foam.. let the customer paint and install it himself - the cheapskate..

-

Here's another one.. 'cept I didnt really make it.. this guy had this "mystery plastic" stuff.. nobody seems to know what it is nor where it came from.. LOL.. I just slapped some black vinyl on it, he cut it to shape and hung it himself.

-

At least I've managed to get out of doing installations! [Smile]

I looked for some old pics, but they all seem to have been lost (or burned, I'm not real clear on the particulars)

Found this one. What a waste of a perfectly good Carvagio blank.

This is actually the first panel I made!

I made this one when I took the Graphic Sign Arts program here at NAIT.
Dig the Dom Casual Font and fat white outline. -

Cool idea, Jill.

This is a picture of the first motorcycle tank I ever airbrushed. It was all done with Dupont paints, "borrowed" from a nearby body shop thru a $20 hobby airbrush bought at a local model shop. I recently got this picture from the owner's mom...sorry about the picture quality. The shot was taken almost 13 years ago. Fortunately, the bike has held up better than the picture. [Smile]

The wizard's hair sweeps around to form flames on the sides. The tips of the flames are actually wraiths when you look closely.

The body shop owner later had me do his race car, and I quit my job to be a "famous race car painter" right after he won the local dirt track car show. Ya, sure, right. [Roll Eyes]

Ah, youth.

Cool Stuff, and since Ray Posted an Airbrushes Tank, I will too, I did do Airbrushing as well, in the Olden Days, lol, this was done about 18 years ago... seems like a lifetime.
