10'L x 8'H. To be attached to a fast fold aluminium frame. Canvas and paint subject to heavy use, rolled and unrolled. I have a google list of theatrical suppliers and a cupola people who do this kind of painting but would like referenced people familiar with the sideshow genre who are known to the community. Thanks

My Main Painter can paint Canvas..But I've spoiled him...All my Banners are PAINTED on Heavy Vynl (as heavy as a Truckers Tarp) w/ 2" webbing and large Heavy-Duty D rings...PAINTED w/ One-Shot or Ronan...The reason I emphasis PAINTED is a rumor has been going around the BCS banners are Computer Generated, and Nothing could be Further from the truth...Both Canvas and Vynl have their pluses and minus's...The Main plus for Canvas is the Collector prefers Canvas..But will Mildew, tear, and fade...The reason I use Vynl (Hand PAINTED of course} is Icould give a Rats @ss about Collectors Believe me,Banners were invented to Advertise and Sell tickets, If they become "Art" that's only a Bonus... If Vynl Blanks were available back in the "Day" Ole Fred, Snap, Jack, Sig sure would of been paintin on them...Just as O'Henry would of been buidin their Tops out of Vynl instead of Canvas...Now the plus's of Vynl are, Heavy Duty, difficult to rip or tear, can be flown in High winds, Hold thier Color a longer time, on Down side to Vynl is they can be scratched and peel if not prepped properly, Enamel receptive vynl can be used, but is to0 stiff and can crack...When Vynl is Painted in Inks it will make them Scratch resistant and Excellent in durability...However, Inks generally must be painted Outdoors do to the toxic vapors and is a slow process as the Brush drags even slower then say on canvas...Plus,its hard to Blend colors w/ inks...anyhow What is your Banners Purpose and that will decide which is better for you, I am sure the Group can Hook you up...
You come to a point in your life when you really don't care what people think about you, you just care what you think about yourself.

The banner is going to be used as a backdrop in a themed presentation.

I really enjoy lettering and pinstriping, I'm just no good at it.
I just have some glass panes and 1-Shot in the garage and I paint them and scrape it off, paint them and scrape it off. Just to pass the time. But I'm really terrible. Genuinely awful.

Sounds like a lot of clean up...Next time you want to try use old newspaper turned on it side....this will give you sight guides to help you keep your lettering straight....also NO cleanup....
Don't worry about being bad. It takes time...I see pictures of stuff I did 50 years ago and cringe....Sometimes I cringe at stuff I did last week...In reality I have never been completely happy with anything I've ever done... I always think this could be bigger or a different shade of whatever color I used or maybe the artwork should have faced the other way...I just do the best I can at that moment. |
