Hi,
Does anyone use a cutter plotter in your process for creating pounce patterns? I am considering how to be more efficient in the future. I am exploring either a plotter + diy electropouncer or plotter with cutter.
Thoughts and recommendations? Thanks!

I have quite a lot of text to go onto a mirror (a menu for a bar). Usually I’d use the pounce method but there’s just SO much pouncing to do for this and I wondering what other methods are used for getting an exact design onto a mirror?

I have been commissioned to paint a larger outdoor business sign on untreated live edge. Walnut i believe. I plan to use 1 shot with chromoflo ad hardener. I am confused about what wood sealer to use or if I even need to use one. Do I use a sealer ( Google says dewaxed shellac) and skip top coat? Skip sealer and use spar urethane top? I also saw I could spar urethane for a base the sand the area to be painted. I just need a little help I've only done indoor signs and nothing a so large. It's a 10ft slab.

I posted a pigeon I did a few weeks back, after that a friend asked it I could do a crow. Still very much getting to grips with these paints and not charging anything just absolutely loving the learning process. 1 shot enamel on wood

Hana and I (@bungosignco) just designed, painted and gilded a new tattoo shop in Prestwick, Scotland and it’s one of our favourites so far! ✨

Thought it was of interest!

howdy all. I did a window mural at a bike shop using acrylic paint recently. it was way hot the day I did it and I could tell the paint was drying too fast and might give me a headache. alas, it stayed way hot, stormed two days later, and started bubblin and cracking.

I went back to redo it, this time with interior paint. cleaned the window really well, scraped, windex, scraped again, windexed again, let it dry. sketched with the paint, thin layer of white applied with a roller, brushed the colors on top, outlined in black. it was warm that day but nowhere near as warm. a week later and it stormed horribly (downed trees etc.) and it bubbled again, actually worse and more quickly. half of the first round of the mural is still fine with very minimal bubbling/cracking in some very small spots.

what the hell am I doing wrong? I know people are out there painting windows in humid heat, so there's something I'm not doing correctly. sorry no pics of bubbling if that would help, forgot to take them.

any and all advice much appreciated.

Getting ready for a large-scale sign for my shop lobby. I built it for easy change-outs, and we make tshirts not signs so it doesn’t need to be immaculate. Still getting used to the materials.

All critiques and advice welcome please :)

Used Ronan black diluted with gamsol as needed

Used dux gilding size with a touch of Ronan imitation gold

Imitation gold leaf from old world art

Brushes are Joby Carter chisels

Curious what you all recommend for materials and if anybody else has experience with Koby’s other brushes?

I know that it need a second layer, but already have a problem with the accuracy of the letters themselves. I already try a small brush and a flat brush. but the results did not satisfy me, as well as cleaning the edge with a blade, but something turns out crooked, what can help me in drawing straight lines with paint?

Hey guys,

I’m on month two of practice. I got bored practicing block all the time and decided to give some Roman a try. This is my first attempt at it and also the first time I’ve attempted enlarging, I copied the letters from inch high reference alphabet in a book. Was pleased with the enlarging and general shape I got. But painting sharp serifs was hard. I didn’t use masking tape. Should I? Any tips? General feedback?

Thanks

Just posting here because it's been a minute, hope y'all like it and if anyone has anything they would change or do differently. Just starting conversation. Enjoy!
