Hand Painted Brush Lettering and Signage @ The Travel Place

9/3/2026

0 Comments

 
Been nice to be working on All 4 of the new branches for The Travel Place.
The Travel Place are a local
 independent travel agent with some familiar faces that will be well known to quite a few local customers!
Some nice hand painted quotes in different brush scripts have been painted in most of the branches, with a few hand done logos and other bits and bobs to boot.
A lot of the time these walls tend to be just vinyl nowadays, so its great to add a bit of the personal touch to these walls and to be asked to do this all by hand.
Big Thanks to all at all of the branches for making me welcome, and the coffee's of course :)


Branches are in Rugby, Syston, Blaby & Nuneaton... if you want a hols, give um a call!

Bit of travelling around Leicestershire this last couple of weeks....

Both jobs are repeat customers so a big thanks to all my repeat  business. I'm incredibly grateful for your trust in my work and look forward to seeing you again in the future!

A bit of hand-painted signage @theoldhorse on London Rd in Leicester.

The Old Horse is one of the Leicester's most iconic pubs and stands opposite Victoria Park just outside the City Centre.

Nice little fiddly job painting over all those slats!🤪... especially on raw timber, but happy how it came out.

Cheers for the shout to add a little bit of my signwriting to the amazing refurbish and re-imaging that the pub has just gone through... definitely worth a visit and a pint!🍻 ( Leicester's Largest Pub Garden if you didnt know already! )

Church Honour Board Signwriting with Gilded Gold-Leaf Lettering.

Had the honour of being asked to update this lovely old board in Sutton Coalfield this week.
What a cracker of a board it is! ...just love to see all these old boards with entries going back generations. That being said, the last few entries are quite 'a bit' out ( not my work lol! )
Anyway, it has 'Character' as my Dad mentioned yesterday, which is the perfect word to describe this board I think!
It was agreed we go back to the style and weight of most of the earlier entries so that's what I tried to match as near as possible here.
Signwritten and gilded by hand without tape on a roasting day in june! :)

Big thanks to all at the Church for the shout-out and letting me add to this historic board.

Another Traditionally Hand Painted Van in Leicester

6/20/2026

Back @Penders this week, laying down some paint on this lovely old mk1 transit flatbed.
No fancy stuff on this one, just the Sans Serif block style that is on all his vehicles, with a drop shadow 🫡😊.
Always a cool place to work surrounded by vintage vehicles.

Sunny Braunstone Town in Lesta!

Back out on the road again, gilding and traditionally signwriting a few lovely old historic Honours Boards.
Love seeing the various styles and finishes on some of these old boards, the notable styles of past signwriters is just a joy to see. Couple of these are new ones for me, so the past work is not mine but love the challenge of matching the older works with my new additions. Standard Gold-leaf used mostly on these ones, with hand-painted shadows and key lines where needed. 

I you have any boards that need updating please do get it touch, details are on my contact page.
