Many small businesses and collectors prefer signs made by humans, not machines. People want art in their homes made by people, not factories. And those with an interest in typography and handmade letterforms (both professionals and hobbyists) are interested in painting letters by hand. Does this sound like you?! Sign painting is a perfect blend of graphic design and draftsmanship, of rules and inspiration, of precision and practicality. With the emergence of the “slow movement” in the last decade, and a renewed interest in analog techniques – perhaps a reaction against the technologies that dominate so many aspects of our lives – the demand for traditional sign painting has returned! This sign "Wonders of the Wanderer" is painted on an upcycled Mid-Century side table top, complete with original framing. The vintage style sign is painted using the best quality 1Shot Enamel Paints and Mack brushes. Note: slight imperfection in the 'h' of "the' (but that's hand painting for you!) and the two ends of the original framing do not quite meet at the right edge. See_Saw_Signs are unique, one-off and handmade by me, Andrea, a Sydney-based Graphic Designer with 15 years experience. The designs for my signs are planned on screen using design softerware and then painstakingly transposed onto salvaged wood or glass where they are then hand painted using traditional sign painting techniques and equipment. Ready to hang – this sign has a wire hanging line affixed to two D-Rings on the reverse. 735mmW x 320mmH x 20mmD Colours may vary on devices and screens. Great as a retirement gift, a present for a returned traveller or just a friend with wanderlust! There are very few people hand painting signs in Australia so now's your chance to support this re-emerging art-form. Each individual design is uniquely hand-made and made with love and passion. Custom lettering available on request - please contact us for details. *Imperfections abound, that's what makes sign painting great and unique – it's not made with a computer, it's made with a steady-ish hand! Please be aware of this before ordering.* Thanks for supporting artists and the once-prolific craft of hand painting signs.
