I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I love hand painted banners. The history is rich from old fashioned sign painting to circus side show banners. It sure beats some ugly computer printed vinyle monstrosity!

I once wrote an article for Skin and Ink tattoo magazine about how to paint banners. At Goldfield’s we painted a new one every year.
