This week (among all the screen printing stuff) I have a 7'x5 double-sided carved sign to finish up for a shopping center.
Next week, I have a "healthy" sandblasted sign for a church. Along with that I have two 5'x4' carved signs featuring gold and copper leaf and a smalts background (my first smalts job ever, btw).
For March, I have 20 cement trucks to stripe and letter (barrel and all).
What'chu guys work'n on?

53 foot van trailer almost ready to leave, the next one on it's heels.... a pair of 4'X16' panels on the sign table, a pair of 3x4 aluminum faces for the sides of a garbage packer.... a bunch of short run decals for a local trailer manufacturer........ And I VOW to have my shop truck lettered ( airbrushed chrome beveled edge, of course) and striped ( temporarily until I can get into a spray booth for the REAL graphics) before the end of this month.

Concentrating on wrapping up an interior signage package for a local bookstore. No idea what's on the list after that as I just want to get this job done. Window lettering, hanging section signs & shelf signs.

Eighteen signs get sandblasted here this week. Yikes! Then I've got to get to painting them all! Six of them get two gradient blends each. Arg.
Some print work, some design stuff, some web consultations, installation of another dimensional wall peice, an on-site repair on yet another exterior dimension monument sign, and a last finishing touch (silver bolt covers) on a glass dimensional lobby peice that went up last week. Oh yeah, some on-site window lettering at that location too.
Whew ... I'm tired! It's good to be busy. (keeps me out of trouble) Nettie

Last week a crew of three of us went out to "Hiram Walker" distillery and set up and climbed a 300ft smoke stack to repaint the letters "HIRAM WALKER" which were stacked verticaly fromm a boatswains chair. We all took turns. Good money but scary as hell. The following week we went from Morton,Illinois to the Indiana state line to repair and repaint 7 billboards for the "Stuckey's restaurant chain. And then after that myself and another sign painter set up and painted a 40'x 150' wall for "Bergner's" department store at thier parking lot. Then thier was many tiffin panels to replace on a whole slew of billboards in town. And let me see, Oh... we had to letter 3 tanker trailers and followed that up doing 7 semi trailers for "ReJoyce" foods. They were rippled and quite the bitch to do. This is real sign work.............. No computers, no vinyl, no estimate eqip.
So is that it?

One of my projects right now includes design and layout of 3 high end custom bronze plaques each with a large granite boulder (4 - 10 tons each, about the size of a Volkswagon) to affix them to.
Project includes locating the boulders, transporting to site, carefully setting and positioning boulders into grade, then affixing plaque (easy part), etc.
Someday I'm going to write a book about this business. I'm having fun!

Yesterday we made 2 lexan faces, painted sponsors names on a 1968 Lola T-70 and printed some vintage racing decals along with some corplast signs.
Todays jobs are lettering a Mack tractor and a utility body truck for a pool company. In the afternoon I have to go to a local race shop and mask off some graphics on a MG-Lola so they can bring the bodywork to the painter.
We have been very busy with truck lettering for this time of year. Usually they start lining up around the middle of March. I think the fairly mild winter (not counting this weekends 26" of snow) has something to do with it.
