Signs in the Jail

First time I've been to jail! And probably one of the few to come out ahead! Here are a few pictures of sign painting jail cells. Vinyl was not an option as it could be peeled off and made into a rope for a variety of uses.

The sign painting process was used to create cost-effective, durable signage on epoxy painted cement walls.

Antique Boat Names

Requests for restoration work keeps coming in for boat names. I can't convince them to try colour because the gold leaf and black look so awesome. Here the clearcoat has been applied and sanded, then the design work, finally, all is clear coated which gives the design a lot of depth.

Drones need signs too!

Since Transport Canada has created laws around licensing and registration of drones there's been a need for custom stickers to identify the registered owner. A customer requested the same so I made up some stickers of outdoor vinyl use. They are easy to apply, simply peel & stick. Many variations can be created from a solid backgrounds to simply letters. Many colours are available to match your drones paint theme. Shown here is a larger battery sticker and a smaller leg sticker.

Production Artwork

A lot of our sign work becomes someone's logo. Many new businesses don't have a logo in mind when they get a great business idea. More specifically, production artwork. It's import that a logo or brand identity is relevant to all forms of production. Here's an example of a logo that not only looks great, but it can also be reproduced with any sign making process.

Pool Decks

It was nice to be beachside this afternoon painting numbers on a strata pool deck. I did a test last year on the 5' marker and it lasted very well through heavy summer use and winters snow and ice. This year the deck will be seal coated with epoxy coating. The pebble surface commanded the process of sign painting.

Gold Leaf & Paint

The design was created in a graphics program. A pattern is made from paper, just like the ol'time sign writers used to do. Layout out & design is the key to making any sign look great. From there a laquer sizing is applied by brush and the gold sheet is applied just before drying. Once it's dry the black 1-shot lettering enamel gives the project it's design.

A high gloss clear coat gives depth to the image.
