Howdy Mark
That is a good one, that ought to help his business for sure. One time i painted and lettered this sewer pumping truck, and on the back it said that your turd is my bread and butter. Extremely unusual huh.

thanks for the kind words guys.

sorry for the bad photos, i shot these with my old 35 mm.
i wish you could see the convex on the heading, "Gus Geeter" it just didn't show in the photos i took.

i got into this one and met a helluva blues singer to boot.

Gus first showed me an old photo of him standing next to another hearse he owned back in 1964!

he is truly a southern gentleman of the blues.

the guy is in his 60's and he was almost doing backflips in the parking lot when him and his son came to pick the hearse up today.

what was so freaky was me driving it around to the back of my shop.(first time i ever drove a hearse! LOL)

my next door neighbor in the dental lab came out and said, "mark, i will believe you when you say, "business is dead" hahaha

business comes from the strangest places sometimes.

Mark, that is SO GOOD!

The bullet holes are really fine, I love the variations in them, size, angle,DAMAGE!!!

Is the Portrait hand painted?

btw, is the Disney film done(your part)? Sounded like a dream project, hard work but Good Work??

thanks john lennig,
the job was all vinyl with a signpainter's attitude.
i used all avery hp vinyl.
the colors were imitation gold, primose yellow, sapphire blue, dark blue, metallic silver and carnation.

the portrait and bullet holes were printed on the edge(i don't own one so i subbed it out with tight reign on color corrections.)

this was a fun project because of the client i dealt with.

i cannot comment at the moment on anything movie related due to contractual agreements.

it won't be long until i will have a lot to say. LOL

thanks man,


mark

now back to our regularly scheduled program on...
