A Kilted Sign Guy?

[Sciuropterus]

I have worked for some real head cases in the sign business (both bosses and customers).

I was a sign painter in MN for years, I attended, then later taught, at St. Paul Technical College when they used to have an evening sign painting program. Even carried a union card for a while.

I really enjoyed hand lettering, I would not consider myself especially talented but I could work at a commercially proficient level.

There will be a big sign painting meet in Minneapolis this summer.

I'm not particularly proficient either, though I've gotten better since wearing the bifocals.

There's not a lot of call for hand lettering since you can do it in vinyl or digital print for so much cheaper. Actually, it's been a couple years since I've picked up the brush.

Maybe now is a good time for a career change. The business is filled with loonies, and I've had about all the insanity I can handle for a while.

And yet, I'm thinking about reviving my catering business...

Maybe I'm just in the mood for a different sort of insanity.
