Don't believe everything you read

"We Are OPEN, Come on in!"
Last weekend i did some sign painting. This 'Open' sign is for the new store we will be opening soon...Woohooo! I haven't blogged about this yet because i'm a bit superstitious. I don't like talking about projects until they are fleshed out and nearly ready otherwise, i have the feeling that if you talk about these things too early, it may never flesh out. We've had some set backs with the renovations (who doesn't?) and had to set our opening date back a little. So, we're not actually 'OPEN' yet but pretty soon, it's going to be one swinging place!

The Next Guided Tour Starts At...

Just finished painting this sign for the Vistors Center at the Kinderdijk. (Actually looks nicer in person. For some reason i just couldn't get the true colors to come through in the photograph.) I'm really getting into this sign painting. I do need some better brushes though and i WANT some '1Shot'. '1Shot' is the big-damn-sign-paintin' business. Expensive though and hard to find around these parts. Can't wait to try it out. Even the can is gorgeous and take a look at those colors. YUM.
