UP THERE – A documentary about sign painting.
I work on oversize pieces, regularly, with both design and art projects. Lately I’ve been doing exceptionally large wallpaper and glass treatments (thousands of square feet of custom work). If I’ve learned anything, other than i get stressed out waiting to see the final product, is that it takes a special cat to really wrap his/her head around such huge scale while working in a confined space or screen view.
Vinyl printing has been a god send, for me, from a commercial perspective and I couldn’t be doing the wallpaper projects I love so much, without it. But my art takes a lot from sign painters — embraces their techniques and I have a lot of admiration for this dying craft.
check out the ritual project for more info on this doc and others.
