  • Awesome work!

  • Wicked! Also, major props! Just seen the stuff you're smashing out for Dave Smith! Strong start to 2024.

  • Love this thread, brilliant skills.

  • The old fruit and veg signs really bought back memories, I spent alot of time being dragged around by my mum looking for bargains in markets, reminded me of the cockney traders belting out something about apples and pears..etc, in common style I've not heard in.years
    Great artists in many ways.

  • Ah cheers

    Truth is that was over a years (!!) work as Dave is such a perfectionist. Should have been 6 printed layers and two gilded, ended up being 15+ and a whole load of back and forth.

    It is super difficult to do an edition of 25 of something for people who only ever make one of what they make. The parameters of perfection have to be different when you are doing something 25times and that was a speed bump in production process.

  • Oh wow! That's some graft but the results speak for themselves 👏🏻 You must be chuffed to see it final come together! Or sick of it! Ha.

    I was lucky enough to do a course with him at his house a few years ago, really genuine guy, joker as well.

  • Got some deals on Instagram of some of my sample things if anyone is keen

    @mansonspress is the instagram handle, info is in the stories/a reel I think

  • This seems like the most appropriate thread...I have a small project and I'm essentially looking to get a poem written down by someone in freelance calligraphy(?) and framed for a birthday present. This is way out of my knowledge zone. Is this the best approach, or is getting it printed a better option?
    Thought I'd offer it to forum members before looking elsewhere...

  • @pifko I don’t really know anyone that does lettering at that scale.

    Seb Lester is the best lettering artist out there for that but not sure he does commissions

    Searching instagrams # might be a good place to go, lots of very talented folks there that would I am sure love a commission

  • Might be people on Etsy who would do it too, but they'll probably want to steer you into live laugh love territory

  • If anyone is interested I am doing a Pop-Up shop in Leytonstone on the 5th-7th of April.

    Going to be selling old screen printed editions, painted signs and stuff from my studio for (what I think is…) cheap.

    Also going to be making a gilded sign over the weekend.

    Address is No1, east entrance of Leytonstone underground station, Church Ln, Bushwood, London E11 1HE
