BESPOKE HAND PAINTED SIGNAGE FOR BUSINESSES, CREATED USING TRADITIONAL TECHNIQUES AND PROCESSES

 
Here’s my ‘Three Nuns’ piece for the Grand Exhibition which opens next Thursday the 16th at @oxotowerwharf as part of London Letterheads 2018! . Thirty sign painters have created pieces for the show with the titles taken from an exhibition of signs that took place in London in 1762. All the pieces in the show will be available to buy and on show to the public from the 16th -20th of August. . Meanwhile, upstairs around 250 sign painters from around the world will meet for four days of painting, drinking and moaning about clients. This is for ticket holders only, but free tours are available for anyone interested in seeing what that looks like. Full details of what’s on and when at the link in my bio. . Poster design for The Grand Exhibition by the brilliant @copenhagensigns and for Letterheads 2018 by the imperious @gedpalmer #letterheads #londonletterheads #grandexhibition #alwayshandpaint #ioafs
‘The Toppers’ - reverse glass piece made earlier this year my solo show. Swipe for a process slightly incomplete process vid. This was the last piece I made for that show and stress levels meant I missed filming a couple of stages, key one being where I screen printed in the image of the girls, but hopefully you can get an idea of the work that went into it #gilding #thetoppers #process
Living the Wall Dog life this week painting these two murals for Florentia Clothing Village in Manor House where I have my studio. Big thanks to @cjmacdonald.1 for lending a hand on both. Loved my fist go on a scissor lift, never even driven a car, you can probably tell... #walldog #signpainting #alwayshandpaint
