The Essential Sign writing Kit: Brushes, Tools & Care

Want to know what goes into hand-painted signs? From Handover 2112 Kolinsky sable brushes to Mack Virus 444 for fine details, I’m breaking down my go-to tools for crisp lettering and bold designs. Plus, the must-have extras—Wonder wipes, white spirit, china graph pencils, mini cups, wooden sticks, rulers, and a trusty tin opener (because paint tins are stubborn). Learn how I keep my brushes in top shape with proper cleaning and brush oil so they last for years. Whether you're a sign writer or just curious, this behind-the-scenes peek has you covered! 🎨

Hey, friends! I’m beyond excited to introduce you to the very first print in my year-long ghost sign series – the Metcalf & Co. riso print! This A3 beauty is inspired by Hucknall’s own historic ghost sign and marks the start of a 12-part journey through faded hand-painted ads from the past.
