signwriting glass window paint

I just googled 'signwriting glass window paint' and one of the first hits had this as the first line of the description:

"Sign writers no longer use paint. Traditional sign writing has been replaced by vinyl lettering"

I am aghast. I know it's a dying art, but I'm going to keep carrying the fire. Hand-painted signs ROCK.

I will miss them.

i've read about a guy that does it in san francisco or somewhere. but he does it in a cool graphic designer kind of way. then in japan they still employ calligraphers to right names of restaurants and things. but it's time for a come back. its one of the jobs i want when i grow up.

Me too, I want to do it when I grow up too. But I want to see it around more than I want to do it, unlike most things.
