so interessant!
Beautiful lady, beautiful art and so sorry for your loss👍🇺🇸❤️
Respect sir !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
That was a fun ride! I have a couple of the Speedball textbooks, and have often marveled at George’s facility. It was great to learn about him as a person, and to get a glimpse into his professional life. Well done.
❤❤❤❤❤👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I'm in my 70's and my father was a painter/decorator with a small crew... Every time he got new trucks this local sign writer came to our house with his early Cadillac full of gear and paint...my old man use to tell me to NOT TALK to the guy as he was being paid for a sign only. I'd sit on an old wood soft drink box and be amazed. In college I studied Fine Art and my father wasn't impressed, until he saw a 4 story (about 42 feet) building mural that I made over $30,000 profit...this guy is amazing and love his story.
Who is responsible for the background music ?
You "Rambled On" and we enjoyed, thank you.
HA!! This guy is hilarious!! What a treasure Wonderful stories!
Love it Love it Love it!
What a great video. Pleased to have it pop into my feed. Could listen to Stan for hours.
I did a bit of signwriting when I was younger, I lettered the lorries of the coal merchants I worked for during my 17 years as coal man, or the odd shop front, but I just just didn't have an artistic eye, just basic lettering nothing fancy , also I was terrified of heights and couldn't work off a ladder haha.
What brilliant thing to do I would like to do that your so good at amazing
Lefties.............the CREATIVE ONES!! Thank you Barbara 😀
What a great guy!!
such beautiful color choices.
Wonderful
Josef you're an exceptional Signwriter of the highest order,your work is outstanding.
Fantastic Barbara , well done
Fantastic , well done Stan and the Carter family.
The digital world is so unsatisfying.
Great video, but subtitles are not always readable. If you put a dark background behind the letters, they will be readable.
Magnificent. Some see signs, some see the art. I enjoy veiwing a old "no fishin" or "keep out" sign that was lettered by a novice. Nice video. Good day. 🇺🇲
Beautiful story. Beautiful art
عمل راقي .
That brush technique with oil is so addictive !
Sometimes they say a certain quote just to get someone to do it for cheaper
Shaky style that's the best !
Reverse glass painting so difficult to accomplish .
The ultimate reflection too !
The ultimate reflection too !
Mother of pearl !!! No one sees that or even knows about it .
That's true it's absolutely wonderful!!!
Today it's a battle between computers vs hand made signs ,time, money .
Another beautiful video.

Masters !!!! Real quality !!
Wow this really amazing!!well done for sure this is so incredible

Thanks a million for these videos. They add a soul to a craft that thankfully is regaining appreciation amongst the general public. Keep up the great work.
Thank you for keeping this art alive!
Met Barbara at the 2019 Porto Letterheads. Wishing all the best for this wonderful inspiring lady =)
Thoroughly enjoyed your video Barb....brings back so many memories....I still love ticket writing and I do a bit here and there....My main thing now is I write Eternity with chalk every where I go...on footpaths and roads....I have taken over from Arthur Stace....Noelene....
Love it
These are the real masters of the art of Sign Painting. .............Itchy
Oh wow what an inspirational and sweet person! Thanks so much for the positive vibes and wonderful content!
"Keep * it * casual"
I love you Barbara, you are such a special person to me. We came from the same background our mothers arranging for us to do the 3 year Technical College course. I loved working with a brush, hard to explain the feeling. My life went in another direction however as lifelong friends I am so proud of you, this video is really something. We have another thing in common. Cheap "shits." I silk screened 60 and they went into 3 windows. Now we realise how important the "R" really was. Keep up the good work and keep hand lettering alive. Love Sylvia xx
Couldn’t get into live meeting😔
Thanks for the subtitles.
Lovely but a bit sad at the same time, I wish he had someone to carry it on with him
