Wright Family Farm Sign
We were very excited about this sign. Our friends at the Wright Family Farm in Warwick, NY needed to replace an old sign on the main road in front of the farm. This farm has been around for over 100 years so we felt very privileged to be involved. So we stepped in to help with the task by creating a new design that would incorporate everything they had to offer. Nanette jumped on the design and came up with a wonderful sign design that everyone was extremely happy with. Now we have to make it…
2 Branches down. 3 to go.
This week, we will have finished the 3rd branch of the Dover Phila Credit Union Sign project. We were contracted to update all of the signage at their 5 branches. Saturday we will finish our 3rd branch and wrap the final two up in the next two weeks. It has been a huge and challenging project, but also very satisfying. We finally had a chance to make more acrylic push through letters on this one
Bottle cap
I was asked just how I might create a bottle cap in EnRoute. While I suppose there are many ways to go about it here’s my method. First, depending on how accurate you wish to be you would need to measure a bottle cap to get the proportions.
Feeling crabby!
Peter had first dibs on the sculpting of the crab submarine but he was called away to do other things. With the deadline quickly approaching that meant the fun job fell to me. I wasted no time in getting busy! I was feeling crabby! Peter had done a little work and set the direction of the project.
Sign Shop Sign
Our good friend Robin from Foley Sign Shop in Orangeburg, NY was in the market for an oversized dimensional sign at her great new location. We were happy to work with her on it and had a little fun with her great logo. The bed on our Multicam 3000 is 4’x8′ – the sign will be 5’x8′ so we are going to have to piece it together. We are cutting the Palette out of 2″ 15# Precision Board HDU and the letters out of 1.5″ 30# Precision Board HDU. To lighten the sign we hog out some material. Once We’ve assembled the palette we cut the letters and other elements.
Scribbling ideas
When I received my invitation to the 2016 Sign Invitational it didn’t take very long for me to think up a great idea. Not long at all. I quickly grabbed my sketchbook and over the next hour filled ten or twelve pages with scribbles (to most) of ideas.
2016 Sign Challenge
I absolutely love a challenge and when this arrived in my inbox I jumped at the chance! Of the twenty invited sign makers there have been twelve of the world’s best respond already. The competition is going to be incredibly intense and fun! Best of all of the entrants will be gathered in Orlando at the International Sign Show for everyone to talk to and perhaps garner some great tips. I look forward to seeing the entries all lined up in a row. MultiCam has stepped up as a sponsor of the display space for the entries. Precision Board (Coastal Enterprises) has also signed on as a sponsor.

Adding a little color
Two of the models are now in the paint stage and coming along nicely. It won’t be long until they are finished. The little tugboat is sporting all of it’s base colors and is ready for the first of it’s glazes.
