Thought I’d start proceedings with a short clip that’s always been a good source of inspiration for me. It’s still early days for Mild Manners – a new temporary gallery project I’m working on in Brisbane, but next week is the first exhibition featuring four hugely talented new generation artists who still use traditional sign writing in their work. It’s the rare few who work hard to keep the old style alive, on a commercial front, it’s now an artform that defies practicality in almost every sense of the word with digital technology as good as it has become. UP THERE, a few years old now, looks at a handful of New York sign writers working by the old style, keeping it alive for now,
It Ain’t Dead.
