Typhoon Scroll Striper size 0

VSKD artstore news — Thu, 14 Mar 2013 02:34:35 +0000

“Wizard Typhoon” size 0
Kazan Squirrel – Bronze Handle
“Just a hair’ faster than the Vortex, but with all the quality, this baby moves right along. As fast as you can think of a design, the typhoon seems to read your mind and anticipate you next move. The hair was chosen for quick response time and accurate placement on any surface. I especially like this brush for motorcycle work because of the curved surfaces and the brushes ‘forgiveness’ in tight turns. I am amazed at its performance every time I use it.”

Sign Painters

VSKD artstore news — Thu, 14 Mar 2013 02:34:34 +0000

Sign Painters
Faythe Levine, Sam Macon
7.5 x 9.5 IN / 19 x 24 CM
184 PP / 200 color ill
paperback

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 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.

About the Authors:
Faythe Levine is an artist, photographer, flimmaker, and curator based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. She is the founder of Art vs. Craft and curates Sky High Gallery.
Levine?s first film and book, Handmade Nation: The Rise of DIY, Art, Craft, and Design was published by Princeton Architectural Press.

Sam Macon is a Milwaukee-born, Chicago-based filmmaker, photographer, and writer. He received his BFA in film from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and directs music videos, commercials, short films, and documentaries.

Review
“Full of stunning full-color shots of finished signs and works-in-progress of folks from San Francisco and Iowa City to Mazeppa and Boston. Even artist Ed Ruscha gets in on the action.” — Fast Company

“With hand-painted signs rapidly going the way of the film camera, documentarians Levine and Macon offer a welcome look at some of the remaining artists and their work, which adorns storefronts, walls and billboards. New Yorker Stephen Powers began as a graffiti artist; Las Vegas painters Mark and Rosie Oatis met in sign school; Ernie Gosnell, in Seattle, learned the trade as a teen from a sign-painting lady wrestler who “tattooed a little bit on the side.” It’s a toss-up as to what’s better – these characters or their art.” — New York Post

Gold Leaf Neatsfoot Oil ? 500 Ml

VSKD artstore news — Thu, 14 Mar 2013 02:34:34 +0000

Gold Leaf Neatsfoot Oil ? 500 Ml

This is a non-dying Natural Oil.

Treating natural hair brushes with this product will maintain the natural elements of the tuft after being stripped away from the use of lettering enamels, other solvent, or water based paints

Tips:

1.This oil can also be usefull in cleaning brushes as dipping brushes into the oil will draw paint out from deep in the heel of the brush.

2.Brushes can also be submerged in oil between uses.
Although I recommend cleaning out most the paint from doing so, this method will allow you to avoid excessive thorough cleaning for brushes that are used daily.

3.To treat brushes and properly store your brushes, clean all the paint and oil out of your brushes lightly work the oil into the brush.
Lay each brush on a clean flat surface with the tuft shaped to the correct form.

4. ALWAYS be sure to clean all the oil from your brush with 1 shot brush cleaner or paint thinner before using it again.
If brush oil is mixed into your paint it will never dry .

Kafka Signature Series Scroller ’6

VSKD artstore news — Thu, 14 Mar 2013 02:34:34 +0000

Kafka Signature Series Scroller – size 6

Designed by master pinstriping legend Steve Kafka, these brushes will unlock the mysteries of his style and enable the user to stripe curves as never before.

These brushes turn corners with ease, flow striping enamels like no other brushes, and allow the user to do design work without the chance of ?flare-out.? The sizes range from 0 through 6.
They are all extremely versatile but could be considered specific relative to their size. The brushes are best used between 55 and 80 degrees to the surface of the work.

All Kafka signature series pinstriping brushes can turn corners without ?flare-out? and without the user ?rolling the brush?? just lift and work the tip for designs that usually take years to master.
Works equally well with urethanes and oil-based enamels. Made by master brush makers to last and perform longer than any brush … ever.

Size 6 ? The size 6 will give you the heavier lines needed in many instances, but still can deliver delicate design work.
It’s used for initial layouts followed by smaller sizes for more delicate additions in beautiful combinations.

This brush will give the user greater control in all applications and flatten the learning curve for novice stripers. The size 3 is also the most used favorite of its designer, Steve Kafka.
