I'm in my 70's and my father was a painter/decorator with a small crew... Every time he got new trucks this local sign writer came to our house with his early Cadillac full of gear and paint...my old man use to tell me to NOT TALK to the guy as he was being paid for a sign only. I'd sit on an old wood soft drink box and be amazed. In college I studied Fine Art and my father wasn't impressed, until he saw a 4 story (about 42 feet) building mural that I made over $30,000 profit...this guy is amazing and love his story.

Wow such a treasure. Must be amazing just being in Mr. Wilkinson space. Joby you're a lucky fellow to have been associated with this gentleman.

That was brilliant. Stan's story is lovely and a real treat to hear. Now, as my father used to say, I'm off to practise my lettering!

I did a bit of signwriting when I was younger, I lettered the lorries of the coal merchants I worked for during my 17 years as coal man, or the odd shop front, but I just just didn't have an artistic eye, just basic lettering nothing fancy , also I was terrified of heights and couldn't work off a ladder haha.
