Visit Streamlines Web Site. Sunday, 19 April 2015. Time to catch up. It's been awhile. One of the two flywheel for the engine. The thing about old equipment, is everything is heavy. Thankfully they had them mounted on a stand that allowed it to spin freely. Made my job a whole lot easier, and spared me the pain of stretching over a table. Posted by Rick Janzen.

Visit Streamlines Web Site. Thursday, 21 August 2014. A quick distressed sign. Posted by Rick Janzen. Saturday, 2 August 2014. WowAn award for the historical sign work I do, what an honour. Our City's Mayor Nenshi giving a speech on the important of preserving our city's history. I had a chance to talk with him after the event, and he came across as a really nice person. He mentioned I should maybe hand paint all his re-election signs, He sure has a good sense of humour. Posted by Rick Janzen.

Historic and Traditional Hand Lettering by Rick Janzen: December 2013
http://streamlinestudios.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Visit Streamlines Web Site. Saturday, 7 December 2013. It's not a sign, but it is hand painted. I start by sanding and priming the panel with B/M Fresh Start. This product is designed to adhere to the enamel factory finish on the panel. The next step is to do a rough layout so I can block in the values. For this step I use black gesso. I picked up this technique from a workshop I did with a well known Canadian artist named Mike Svob. Just click on his name to check out his website. A shameless promo shot...

Visit Streamlines Web Site. Sunday, 10 March 2013. Painting Picture Vehicles for the Film Industry. We only had a few days to get everything painted, so painting by brush saved a lot time by not having to mask anything. The production designer was great to work with. He went ahead of us and did the layouts That way we could just focus on the painting. It doesn't happen that often, but it sure is nice when it does. This was for a Miller Beer commercial. First it was sprayed with the product Sign Strip...

Visit Streamlines Web Site. Monday, 21 January 2013. It's not hand painted, but it is hand done. This is the masters that was used to make the mold. The ladies sign in the gold color was a test cast. Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures when creating the master or mold, as this was before I started blogging. And here's the finished sign, complete with paint. I could go in and apply a glaze to darken the background, but it's not needed for this job. If you have any questions, feel free to leav...Satur...

Visit Streamlines Web Site. Saturday, 1 November 2014. Just a few of my recent projects. It's been a while since I've had a chance to post anything.

Here's a brief description of the stories I'm working on. The 1953 Alco A and B unit graphic re-creation project. This summer I had the pleasure of doing a sign workshop for the ALHFAM Annual Conference. All images po...

Historic and Traditional Hand Lettering by Rick Janzen: July 2014
http://streamlinestudios.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Visit Streamlines Web Site. Sunday, 13 July 2014. This time it's real Gold Leaf. In my last post, I talked about doing faux gold leaf water gilding, this time, it was the real deal. A client of mine wanted an "Old School" gold leaf sign for his high end restaurant, a water gilded gold leaf sign. Done it the traditional way, using a water and gelatin wash to adherer the gold to the glass. With the outline and shadow done, it's time to move onto the gilding. Posted by Rick Janzen.
