Primarily Petroliana Shop Talk Forums Shop Talk Petroliana Forums Showcase and Stories, Petroliana MY RED INDIAN HAND PAINTED SIGN

MY FIRST STEP WAS TO ROUTER THE 1X2" POPLAR AND PAINT IT BLACK & WHITE. I GAVE IT A BULLNOSE LOOK. THE OUTSIDE EDGE IS BLACK AND THE INSIDE EDGE WHITE. I PAINTED A PIECE OF TEMPERED MASONITE CUT TO THE 26"X 72" SIZE, SANDED IT AND PRIMED IT WITH ZINSSER 1,2,3.

MY ARTWORK CAME FROM THE PETROLIANA BOOK PAGE 151 BOTTOM.
I DUPED THE SIGNS IMAGE WITH PHOTOSHOP AND ALSO USING THE EXACT LETTERING FROM THAT IMAGE.
THE INDIAN HEAD CAME FROM T-WAY WHO POSTED IT IN ANOTHER RELATED POST (THANKS, T-WAY!).


HERE IS THE IMAGE THAT I PRINTED, PHOTOGRAPHED AND EVENTUALLY USED IN THE PROJECTION AND TRACING PROCESS:
