I’ve been painting things for the last 18 years and finally decided to start sign painting in 2016, since then I’ve painted everything from shop facades, pub signs and narrow boats. I am self-taught and I acquired a HND in Typography which definitively gave me the love for the typographical art.
I’ve painted a wide selection of things. I’ve worked for a varied range of clientele, from the individual to large companies.
I work on Shop frontages, Glass gilding and reverse glass work, Lettering on render and brickwork, Murals, Pub swing signs, A-boards, Vehicles and Narrowboats.
The craft
So, a little bit about the art of Signwriting, Signpainting or Traditional signwriting. This form of craft has been going for millennia and even though digital vinyl signage took the limelight for a fair few years, it seems that traditional signpainting is making a great resurgence.
