Classy work. I'm intrigued with the airbrush effect as it really makes a big difference with that bold block lettering softened by the blend. I wish you had shown a little of that as I'm wondering did you need to mask or do you handle the spray so well that you don't need any mask? (Subscribed because you seem to explain things in a more down to business way than the other channels I've seen. No offence to them but there's only so much I can watch and yours seems the best bet)

Hi Jack, im just wondering about the dixie cups, how do you tell if its waxed or not. And what is the downside of them being waxed? Thanks alot, love the videos
@JackFlemingArtistry11 күн бұрын
@louiebrooks8881 they should say wax free on the package or in the description if ordering online. Another popular option is the little plastic medicine cups. If they have wax, the paint will dissolve the wax and it mixes into the paint, contaminating it. This results in issues with the paint having an uneven finish (dull spots), adhesion issues, and sometimes drying issues.

@Krucerstattoos depends on the plastic cup. Also depends on the Dixie cups. I use the little plastic medicine cups they give you at the pharmacy. For Dixie cups, it is important that they are wax free.

@ChukaCustoms i have had mine about 18nyears. I know I paid decent money then, but it wasn't that much. I found a really cool color wheel from the 60s that I want, but it is up in that price range too. Good books seem hard to find sometimes. I have a long list of ones I wish I could afford. On a different note, I just finished filming part 2b today. Hope to have it uploaded in a week.

If the customer isn't going to pay me, I am not going to paint. As much as I love to paint, I cannot work for free. The bills don't get paid that way.

@JackFlemingArtistryАй бұрын
@Broody58 I like the results better of drawing them out by hand on the door. I thought I had mentioned that in the video. I will have to go back and see now. As for turning it into a pounce pattern, it takes me longer to do that by hand than it does to.just use transfer paper. Granted, pouncing it out is quicker. If I had more than one truck to do the same, I would definitely have made a pounce. If I had used the.electropounce, that would have required driving 50 minutes back to my shop, and then another 50 minutes back to the shop I painted it in. You should make a video showing us your process. I love picking up tips from watching others. It is how I learn.
@Broody58Ай бұрын
@@JackFlemingArtistry no..same old fashioned pounced pattern. Line across the top to level. Center point to center. But most lines are just the outsides. Painting thicknesses goes with the right quill..but you know that. One offs like your doing I'd just do my lines with a stabilo, top and bottom. Get my word lengths & centers with just placement dots on the lines where the letters will be. & do it by eye. Accurate guide lines, a good maul stick, properly thinned paint..your off & running. I'm retired a bit over 10 years now. Miss it terrible! After awhile, you get just about all the letter styles in your head, & they just come out. A good planned design puts you above your competition though. Sign craft was a good mag, to keep up on whats happening in the country. My grandchildren can barely understand script! I wonder if it's used less anymore?
@JackFlemingArtistryАй бұрын
@Broody58 I miss sign craft being a physical copy for sure. I consider myself to be a sophomore in this trade, and being mostly self taught, I strive for information from seasoned professionals with decades behind the brush. I make my videos to share where I am at, and not to be an authority on the craft, but to open a dialogue such as this for people learn from. Unfortunately trade schools, apprenticeships, and resources like Sign Craft are few and far between.
