Go Doggies

The success of the great Western Bulldogs in making it into the 2016 AFL Grand Final inspired Tyler's friend Pete to commission this hand painted mural which is now famous over social media and on breakfast radio 
Tyler worked into the small hours of this morning finishing the job but as a passionate Bulldogs supporter it was more a labour of love!
Well done to Tyler and we wish the Doggies success this coming Saturday.

Mural - Dunnes Lane Coburg

This Mural in  Dunnes Lane, Coburg is the result of a collaboration between Moreland City Council and the Coburg Traders Association. The recent upgrade to the lane delivered by Moreland was seen as an opportunity to achieve one of the Association’s objectives to  “refresh and add more life and colour to Coburg”, through “small scale public art”. The Graphic Installation was co-funded and delivered by us at Vital Signs. The artwork was prepared by Sarah Borg and utilises the ‘Colours of Coburg’ palette selected by the trader’s association. Our brief was to paint the graphic design presented to us by Sarah onto a textured brick wall at 9m x 33m so we put together a team of 4 traditional signwriters and then spent a week hand painting the design. We think the job looks great and  believe it definitely meets the objectives. Here is the response from Sarah :"I have heard lots of lovely complimentary comments about the work. Vital Signs did a great job. We are very happy with the service".  

The Welcome Mural - City Of Yarra

Mid way through 2014 we completed a mural project on the walls of Post Office place in Richmond. Designed by Reko Rennie, and commissioned by  the Arts & Cultural Services Dept. of City Of Yarra, our brief from was to turn the idea into a finished work. Drawing on traditional signwriting skills we completed the work over 2 weekends with a small team of traditional signwriters - all using paint and brushes! The people we worked with at City of Yarra Arts & Cultural Services Dept.deserve a huge amount of credit for seeing this project through over a lengthy 6 month period. The public response has been positive and so was the response from our client.

Hush Puppies Dog

"Aged" finished sign

Painted Hush Puppies Dog

 



















Rarely is a sign actually painted these days (with digital printers at the ready) but here the client brief was to hand paint the Hush Puppies dog onto an interior brick wall at their new Miranda Shopping Centre store. The dog had to be fully painted at 3m in height and then "aged" back to give it its final look. Have a look at the before and after photos - Tyler even painted the "brick" work onto the final aged sign. Impressive hey? The client is very pleased with the job and so are we.
