- This is my latest video, Involving the traditional art of sign painting (Signwriting), in this video I paint a sign I designed, based loosely on a vintage Cadbury's Chocolate sign from the 50's.
Sign painting is an craft that has been practiced for hundreds of years, and maybe longer.
Sadly few artists still complete works like this by hand.

Hand lettering is definitely a lost art. My dad used to do this back in the early 80s but he got out of it when he heard about vinyl decals becoming a thing. He taught me about font design and letter structure and as a teenager I got into graffiti and started painting pieces on the trains in the old school block fonts he designed. I would add cool 3d effects and cartoon characters from the 80s/90s and other writers thought it was cool because it had that early 80s flare and was easily readable so it stood out from all the other wild-style stuff.
I’m so happy people are keeping the art of sign writing alive. It’s such a beautiful art.
My father is a sign painter. I always enjoyed it. He has retired and I never pursued it due to uncontrollable hand tremors.
Quite simply, a tremendous effort goes into producing a eyecatching sign like that. Magnificent.
Great stuff I think I've watched this about 7 times now.

I did a load of signwriting in the 1980’s including many 8 x 4 property development boards, this video brings back some good memories. The modern vinyl cut or printed on vinyl signs are soulless by comparison but I appreciate are much cheaper especially where large production runs are required.
It looks like you have done once or twice before. Nicely done. 😀
Good job my friend,, beautiful artwork,, happy holidays,, see you soon thanks,,
