..to me that is...
As some of you may have read in my rant a few days ago, the woods where I live are flooded with tourists and their vehicles. Due covid lockdown city people need to get some fresh air, which I understand. Long story short; Google maps directs them to my ( private ) road, and our low profile signs are no longer read because google is always right.
I tried a sandwich board & crayons to make myself clear and that sort of helped, but you know... rain , crayon , messy... sooo time to try something new.
I`ve always loved hand painted signs, lettering ,pinstriping etc. and this was a good point to get me going. Fabbed up a metal sandwich board , got me a couple brushes and paint and started.
I`ve never done anything like this before and I didn`t feel like trying on paper so here are my very first steps
Nothing easy about lettering , but I love it and I am already sure I will continue doing this.
Writing is in Dutch because English would be kinda strange here... I will translate; If you park here , your car will be on craiglist tomorrow morning... and keep yer damn dog on a leash...
