Since I'm taking advantage of claiming truck off as a business advertising expense I have to put my company name on it so I fully intend to track down some old timer and have him paint my doors. Where I live, things don't change quite so fast and I'm confident that somewhere within a reasonable driving distance I can find a real sign painter to do the job.
HERE\'S a mock-up of what I eventually hope to have done.
When it happens I'll definitely document the process the best I can, but having dealt with sign painters during my 30 years in commercial art I can tell you that it's not something you can learn from a book. It's a skill, an art that's gradually mastered with years of experience, experience that will never offered today because it's been replaced with yet more plastic.
A pity indeed.
