OUCH!

I ordered a couple sets of decals from pre-existing art from Velographic a year or so ago and have no complaints. In his defense, I will say recreating the art and getting them producing is a tedious, time-consuming, money losing and frustrating endeavor! A graphic artist can spend days drawing up a set, then weeks or months trying to get a printer to output them correctly. Though I've made many in the past, it just doesn't pay, I've pretty much given it up.

I believe Greg Softly in Australia made his own investment in the printing equipment, so is able to not only create the art, but fine tune it to fit the process and vice versa. He does a fine job, and I've bought many pieces from him, and worth every penny. Unfortunately, when someone like me, or Mike, takes art to the sign printer, we're not dealing with people that care about producing a quality job. Like many industries today, we're dealing with button pushers; they push the button and whatever comes out is what comes out, they're not knowledgeable or experienced enough to affect the outcome. I wouldn't want to be in Velographic's shoes.

Dr. Deltron: can't you order decal sets from Screen Specialties as an established painter? They've already created a lot of stuff; I've bought sets from sources that can buy from them, and they only run 40-50 bucks a set.

If you're willing to pay 50 bucks an hour and can supply the reference material, I can create any art you need. You find the printer and get it produced!
