Sign painter tributes from Colossal Media and the Sign Painter Movie
This was new to me today, the first film from Colossal Media and a tribute to the team at Sky High Murals who execute their huge hand-painted advertising murals in the USA. Nice. (Read more Colossal Media posts.)
Another tribute comes in book with the publication of ‘Sign Painters’ by Faythe Levine and Sam Macon. This is now available to buy and there’s a ‘look inside’ preview to whet the appetite. Creative Review subscribers can get a full review in the October issue [Link expired] and then the film is due at the end of the year or early next year.
Lots going on then in the world of hand-painted signs, not to mention my own book, ‘Hand-Painted Signs of Kratie’, due for release in November, with the eBooks and free previews available now…
