Hi Paul,

Not really any work on at all here. It has totally died off. I haven't exactly been going out looking for it though as I have the whole shop front to pain, an A Board to make for myself (watch this space), I'm still getting things out of boxes... you get the idea. I do have a race car to do and a chuch sign though.

Hey Craig need some advice regarding digi print and wrapping. Mainly how good is the print, can you get photographic quality and does it distort when you wrap it. Wayne, Brian sorry to be letting the brush fraternity down but I promise the brushes will be out again next week. Another honours board to do this time in gold not like the last numptys who ordered Beech boards then asked for the names to be done in black vinull AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH, I swear I'm going to chuck that plotter in the wheely bin.

Good to hear your still busy Brian- (If a talented fella like you can keep the work rolling in- then maybe ther'es some hope for the rest of us yet!)

Happy Easter Folks-
I'm lettering my new van this weekend ( A job I always love and hate!)

Keeping it real simple this time ( can't chop THAT up with a jigsaw- eh Paul?:) )- but using alot of Gold and varigated copper leaf.

Its not until I go to do MY OWN stuff , I get really anal about everything- especially the lettering ( It is ALL about GOOD lettering thou is'nt it?)

I've spent a bit of time drawing full size paper patterns- even for stuff like the phone numbers, and it makes you re- analise your letter shapes - its quite a sababtical !! :0)

I will of course post some pics when I'm done....so I can kick myself when you all tell me how I SHOULD of done it!

Oh I don't know Wayne a van looks cool with a roof chop, and there'd be less negative space, now wheres that jigsaw?http://www.munchtech.com/bedford/van5.html and heres how. or how about this (scroll down to the blue split screen)http://www.ssvc.org.uk/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=35066&highlight=&sid=a4c48ee59410b6da13649462282552c1 One for Steve Broughton!!!

Print at 72dpi full size or send the artwork 300dpi 1/4 size mate and let them scale it. 72 dpi is more than enough for a wrap and altough it will distort the image when wrapping, it won't matter as the eye will orrect it when looking at it. Call me for any more info.
