Lines Scrolls and Signs of the times

[mrsmackpaul]

Choc's the bloke featured in this story would be one of Australia's better known sign writers 
I have known him for some time my self and even though he would be at the top of tree with the trade he ply's he isnt a wanker 
He has always taken the time to talk to me and make me feel welcome when I call in (Choc's and Ros live at the other end of this wide brown land )

Anyway have a read and well done Choc's

Too interesting, thanks for the article.

Nice to know there are filks, oh no, blokes who love the trucks they work and feel pride doing their job.

Unfortunately here in Russia you really seldom can see a truck or another industry equipment which carry signifishiant art work on. Usually it is airbrush pictures (became popular nearly 20 years back) or just strips or some special paint scheme a truck was just imported used already having it on.

And if you try to find a man who's specialization is hand-lettering or stripping trucks overhere people would look at you and ask "Do such ones exist?"

It's a dying art what he is doing. Now days it's all done using vinyl stickers. We had all our trailers done by a bloke in Toowoomba when they were new.
