Such a terrible shame that all the rides have now been sold off separately and that Carters Steam Fair will never operate again! So much of John Carters family history was in that fair and it was so unique. Great shame as it was always so nicely presented.

I’ve tried so many time to order your two books without getting to the last part. When I input my info, all freezes up and my order never goes thru. I am in the states. Is there any reason why my order may not be completed? Thank you.

Setting up your fair is a really great analogy for sign layout. My dad and grandfather were signpainters, and the only layout they did, and the way I was taught, was ticks on a guideline.

I'm so very sorry you had to sell your family's park. I had my partner fly Sydney, Australia to England to do your five day course. I'm retired and taught both here in Sydney and in the USA. I so loved the style of you works and the level of your painting skills. I do miss teaching, as i miss the interaction with my students, and to this day I get calls asking me small technical questions, and i still service equipment for one importer, as I've known him for over 40 years. The main difference is I limited my Air Brush classes to 6 people and had the students do the identical projects so we were all on the same page.... Fiona was one of my students and like you I ended up getting her to work for me, and 30 years later she owns and has expanded the course. Kind Regards ... Ken (They call me Airbrush Ken as I did work for Paasche back in the late 60's and early 70's.... Thanks Joby... I only wish I was able to go with her to see you in action... side note>> still own some "French Quills" and "Mack" brushes from the 60's... I am old ... LOL

Wonderful work. I well remember in the late 1950'S at the London, Clapham Common Fair watching the men of Saunder's Amusements building up the Lightning Skid. At the time the winch and crane mounted on the front of the Scammell tractor was not working so the men had to manhandle the various components. When it came to the driving motor and mechanism it took the entire crew to lift it off the trailer and maneuver it into position. Mr. Saunders sauntered over and muttered "This is torture. You have to get that crane fixed". Everything about the Skid was heavy from the cars, the fish; mechanism and motor. A wise decision to mount the mechanism on a trailer. Thanks for posting,

The logos hand drawn with pens and the dreaded leteraset was our apple macs😅I'd love to to this course closest I came to it was flash lettering on daygo paper for shop signs. I advanced to a shop sign for relate marriage guidance shop😅as I'm too ill to attend this amazing course I'm going to buy the book. Goal is to do grandkids initial letters for their walls.

Always following up from kenya ...my question is, does it mean , an artist who uses stencil to copy n paste his art isn't so real as the hand drawn one? My art teacher used to warn me about using stencils but only later to realize he have been using it all along, somehow also found myself , feeling like i should always take theshortcut for my personal jobs but ave never felt proud of it nomater how good the art is...
