Welcome folks to another fine episode of the Pencil Pushers Podcast.
I am of course your humble host Mike Rosado and I’m thrilled to be sharing this next chat with my new friend Derek McDonald. Derek is a West Coast vintage inspired sign painter that holds the key to some of the greatest traditional crafts of the past 150 years. Hand painted signs are an amazing part of our industrial history and Derek is not only a talented carrier of the torch, but he’s also a massive historian of the craft, so I learned a lot. Derek not only had his own studio but also works full time at Disneyland as a sign painter. We get into the thick of his creative story, I learn more about the history of sign painting, how you too can get into the craft and what it’s like to work at Disneyland and what he sacrificed happily to get him that remarkable once in a lifetime job. Derek was a blast to chat with as you’ll soon see.
So, do yourself a favor, follow him on Insta @goldenwestsignarts while you sit back relax and enjoy my chat with Derek.
