I was sitting with family on our back porch on Canada Day (July 1), and as I enjoyed the warm sunshine, I was struck by how pretty our house was from my vantage point. It has been more than 13 years since we moved into the house, and familiarity can sometimes make one take things for granted. Back when we built the house, we desired to live in something we created with the same care and detail we lavish on our customers’ projects. Ten years on, our effort still holds, and I am still grateful.
Kimla dino
With a generous application of imagination, there are unlimited ways to do any idea. The dinosaur theme of the Sign Invitational is no exception. Yesterday I showed a ‘woodgrain version of a stegosaurus. I also did a ‘metal robot’ version to present to one of the event’s sponsors. It is going to be a fun piece to paint. Stay tuned…
IBEX test drive
Creating extremely complex routing files is a wonderful way to really get to know and understand the complexities of the new IBEX Software. I’ve been working on a piece to showcase the software’s capabilities at next year’s Sign Invitational to be held at the ISA EXPO. This small dinosaur-themed piece, measuring just under 16 inches wide, used more than fifty vectors and twenty bitmaps, creating numerous levelled shapes that were all layered in the perfect order. I still have to route the backside. Once the two halves are assembled, it is going to look great when it is painted. Stay tuned…
