Fighting the flu, screen printing some t-shirts, making some screens, Edge printing some decals, fuming at my signsupply distributor, screen printing some other decals and taking in an order for another carved/sandblasted/goldleaf'd sign.
I sure hope that your broom is locked safely away in the broom closet!

Wow Cheryl, sounds like a fun day! The Butler Gold CD is on my wish list, but my taxes here come first. I just finished up mags and directional signs for a wedding. The Church is new so the parents want signs on the main highway so folks don't get lost. The mags are for the "Honeymoon Vehicle" a pickup. I get a lot of those as the boys don't like the groomsmen messin' with their truck. But this one is for my step grandson and he said make them pretty for my bride. Ain't he sweet? So I had fun making full color, cut out mags for someone special. Next I get started on mags for my real estate agent and some riders for signs. Anyone want to but 5 acres in Louisiana?

Just finished two custom helmets and a gas tank that are off to get cleared (no time to do it myself). Starting a pro-stock drag bike now. Got a couple signs to do but this racing stuff is more fun......

I spent all morning clicking on Jon Astons post... "DO NOT CLICK HERE". I'm positive the very next click will lead to magnificent discoveries and wealth untold. Then I'm gonna go to the casino!
Seriously, I'm clearing my desk, paying some bills, having lunch and doing some errands before I get into assembling and painting my latest dimensional project.

Been on tha road for the last week or so,...Its out the door at 6 then a 2 hr commute to tha track. Once there I actually have to paint just about anything and everthing there.You name it & it has a sign on it,....walls,scoreboards,the pavement,in between the pavement on concrete,if ya can see thru it it has a banner attached,the grass even is painted with ads.Then all these folks are gonna bring up all these lettered vehicles probably one or 2 out of several hundred contenders is going to want one of them lettered on tha spot.Oh yea I have to have enuf signs for crowd control too there's gonna be spectators, alot of them,...somehow maybe sumhow I can paint an acre & a half of real estate, leap a few small buildings(stopping to spruce up the masonry),Hang untold numbers of banners,5 or 6 billboards, several hundred yards of retaining walls,letter a coupla event vehicles temporarily. Hopefully none of them folks practicin is gonna hit the wall or an engine explode in the bleach boxes or in a turn somewhere nearby while we are painting.Sometimes it's not so bad because we get to work on rigging or even a lift once inna while and that stuff happens a 'lil further away! Just another normal spring rush here in "hubcap heaven".

Massive lettering (Auto wrap style) on a Hummer. Lots of inset panels, large steel plate hinges, excess bolts & rivets, & untold other fun contortions. Pic to come.
Also trying to keep a carpenter busy on some remodel work on my new house, as well as the plumber fixing the water main we "found" in the yard yesterday doing fence work. (Never knew "Homeowner" was a full time job, but I'm not complaining)

Worked on putting a small billboard back up after high winds this weekend took it down. Whittling away at cutting rubber for a 30 sheets of sign foam job. Picked up granite tile for a couple of sandblasted gold leaf entry signs.

The wind is blowing up a hurricane, it's raining like a preacher peeing on a flat rock, and I'm running around like a chicken with his legs cut off trying to get some sample boards ready for my wood/marbling demo at L.A. Trade-Tech the day after tomorrow. I only have outside to do all this in. Naturally, nothing is going quite right, I can't find half the tools I need, forgot how to do some of the marbles I was set to show - in other words, it's a normal day here.

Well might make a small bit of money today but mostly I'll be doing some samples of painted letters on awning material for a regular customer. He's having about 20 agents from around the country come into the factoey next week. I am trying to educate them about the various levels of signwork possible on the material. I am also getting my design ready a glue chipping and acid etching project (samples only)
enjoy your day
