Back to the cool new Bridal Boutique in Lutterworth for this one.
Nice little challenge to reproduce a digital branded logo in paint onto an internal wall onsite.
Nice job to do, and striking contrast with the gold, pink and black..
Thanks @maisiedarling !

Few photo's of recent Chalkboard's done in permanent chalk paints, these are great to give the effect of chalk and can be left out in the good ol' english weather without the worry of the lettering washing off! ( see top left for example of 'good ol' english weather !! )
All hand written so can be in any style and colour desired really, contact me via the contact page if your interested!

Been a busy start to the year, so no rest for the wicked!
This recently completed project is for a new Bridal Boutique in Leicestershire..
Winter Signwriting outside is always a bit of a challenge when its being hand painted, but with hot coffee and biscuits on tap, who could refuse! ( Thankyou @maisiedarling ! )
The lettering is signwritten in 1Shot gold enamels with a thin black shadow, and some accentuated detail lines underneath to finish the design off.
Clean and classic style typeface used for the branding on this design.. works really nicely with the dark grey background and overall feel of the business.

Recently completed Traditional Glass Gilded private house number in Leicestershire.
This project was just a joy to do!
Using the traditional water gilding method onto reverse glass with loose 23.5ct gold leaf, this a process that cannot be rushed, and thats why i think its sadly become a process that is rarely used or even offered by today's modern sign trade.
There is no modern substitute product that can replicate the finish or the depth that you get from using real gold!.. non tarnishing and never fading... its pure gold! :-)

I've included a couple of 'in progress' shots, hope you find them of interest, all the work was hand painted, signwriting and gilding using traditional methods.

Fairly large hand painted logo for local plastics firm, hand painted high up on an internal wall.
Used traditional methods for this one, pounced and all painted by hand.
No Masks or Tape!
Sometimes jobs like this one are just better suited to do by hand, as using masks and tape can mark the surfaces or even pull off plaster ... looks a lot cleaner and the end result is a sharper and a lot more professional.
Work in progress photos below, to end product :-)
Completed Oct 2019 - Leicester by Al Scott Signs.

I'm always asked on a fairly regular basis.. do you do vans or vehicle signwriting?...
Well, the answer is 'yes'!, its a big part of my business, and one that i've been doing for a good many years now as well as the more Traditional Signwriting  and Gilding i do.
So, heres just a few examples of recent works, please contact me for a quote and availability.
I offer a mobile 'on-site' fitting service, which can be done at your place of choice which means your vehicle is off the road for the least time possible.

Always a joy to be commissioned by a client to do a traditional glass gilded signwritten sign.
There is nothing quite like 23.5ct pure gold-leaf and the effect it gives on glass!
really nothing comes close to it to be honest, the artificial products just don't give the same glow and effect.
On this project I used quite a few different processes and finishes to achieve the end result,
All the signwriting is direct to the reverse of the glass, with the various layers applied seperately.
The Gold is yellow 23.5ct loose leaf.
Done for Taurus Barbering, Leicester 2019.

Part of the working process below, thought it maybe of interest to some :-)

Been a busy bee of late!
Pub Work, always enjoy undertaking these sort of projects and great to work on.
Two recent jobs below, first being for the new owners of The Stag & Hounds, this was a refurb' job with the original sign being stripped back, repaired and repainted with the new colours and branding.. love the simplicity of this one.

Second being The Fox & Hounds Freehouse.
Lovely freshly rendered wall for this one!..  signwriting painted direct to the spanking new render, clean & bold so its the first thing you see when approaching the village.

As well as the traditional side of my trade, i also do quite a bit of modern signage and vehicle signwriting, as a Traditionally trained Signwriter a lot of the same rules apply really: good design,  spacing & layout , appropriate typeface choices .. etc.
Its just as important to get these right , even on the smallest of jobs, as it makes so much more impact when these things are done properly.
Wall Wrapping is a fairly new process and a good way of applying large scale images and photos onto internal wall spaces without going through the process of frames or seperate hanging products , the below image is of one i did only recently, fitted in a busy waiting room and shows various landmarks of leicester city and the surrounding area - makes quite an impact on such a large scale.

Perspex polished glass sign done for a local public house in leicestershire, fitted direct to the outside wall with stainless brushed aluminium fixings.
Love how this photo came out actually!.. the reflection of the church over the road works really well ;-)
These are a great affordable way of putting something a little different outside your business/property instead of the standard plastic board.
