Download or read book Sign Painters written by Faythe Levine and published by Princeton Architectural Press. This book was released on 2013-07-02 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There was a time, as recently as the 1980s, when storefronts, murals, banners, barn signs, billboards, and even street signs were all hand-lettered with brush and paint. But, like many skilled trades, the sign industry has been overrun by the techno-fueled promise of quicker and cheaper. The resulting proliferation of computer-designed, die-cut vinyl lettering and inkjet printers has ushered a creeping sameness into our visual landscape. Fortunately, there is a growing trend to seek out traditional sign painters and a renaissance in the trade. In 2010 filmmakers Faythe Levine, coauthor of Handmade Nation, and Sam Macon began documenting these dedicated practitioners, their time-honored methods, and their appreciation for quality and craftsmanship. Sign Painters, the first anecdotal history of the craft, features stories and photographs of more than two dozen sign painters working in cities throughout the United States. With a foreword by legendary artist (and former sign painter) Ed Ruscha, this vibrant book profiles sign painters young and old, from the new vanguard working solo to collaborative shops such as San Francisco s New Bohemia Signs and New York s Colossal Media s Sky High Murals.

Download or read book Bento s Sketchbook written by John Berger and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2015-03-01 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The seventeenth-century philosopher Baruch Spinoza-also known as Benedict or Bento de Spinoza-spent the most intense years of his short life writing. He also carried with him a sketchbook. After his sudden death, his friends rescued letters, manuscripts, notes-but no drawings. For years, without knowing what its pages might hold, John Berger has imagined finding Bento's sketchbook, wanting to see the drawings alongside his surviving words. When one day a friend gave him a beautiful virgin sketchbook, Berger said, "This is Bento's!" and he began to draw, taking his inspiration from the philosopher's vision. In this illustrated color book John Berger uses the imaginative space he creates to explore the process of drawing, politics, storytelling and Spinoza's life and times.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Expert Sign Painter: A Book of Reference Designed for the Use of Practical Sign, Painters Letterers Uring the past few years quite a number Of works for sign painters have appeared from the press, but these have mainly been devoted to illustrations, or lay-outs and alphabets Of various kinds, the text part being almost nil. TO supply the need for a practical text book, a need that I have clearly recognized during my several years' experience as an editor Of a paint er's periodical, and also While instructing in the sign painting art at the Indianapolis Technical Institute, some five years ago, the present work is here Offered. in making this book I have been under Obliga tions to many Of the leading sign painters Of the country, and also to various trade publications, and to these I wish to extend, as far as I can, due credit. My work has indeed been that Of the. Editor, not Of the. Author. I am able in only a few cases to render credit by name, but all Whose writings have contrib uted toward this work, whether small or large it may have been, have the assurance that goes with all good and worthy deeds, that they carry their own reward In satisfaction felt from the consciousness Of so doing. In the forty-eight chapters Of this work will be found the most that can be given regarding the art and practise Of sign painting in this country. Many minds are. Represented therein. Various methods for doing various things are given, all equally good, though. Differing in. Minor points. The book is in tended for the expert workman, not the learner or amateur. It is a book Of ready reference. I have consulted all the books there are, of domes tic and foreign origin, relating to the subject of sign painting, and have also carefully gleaned the pages Of the various trade publications for, the past several years for matter relating to the subject, and what I have gathered in this way has been carefully edited or revised as the case required, and thus I have sought to give the book a permanent and practical value that could not be secured by hasty or less care ful work. I have spent the greater part Of the pres ent year in the preparation Of the work. And now I Offer it to the trade, with the hope and expectation that it will meet a real need and adequately supply that need. There is no other book at least that comes as near to this mark.
