NOVEMBER 2013
Sign Painters Film & Sign Painter
Nov 7th, 7pm
There was a time, as recently as the 1980s, when storefronts, murals, banners, barn signs, billboards, and even street signs were all hand lettered with brush and paint. But, like many skilled trades, the sign industry has been overrun by the techno fueled promise of quicker and cheaper. The resulting proliferation of computer designed, diecut vinyl lettering and inkjet printers has ushered a creeping sameness into our landscape. Fortunately, there is a growing trend to seek out traditional sign painters and a renaissance in the trade. In 2010 filmmakers Faythe Levine, coauthor of Handmade Nation, and Sam Macon began documenting these dedicated practitioners, their time honored methods, and their appreciation for quality and craftsmanship. Sign Painters, the first anecdotal history of the craft, features stories and photographs of more than two dozen sign painters working in cities throughout the United States. With a foreword by legendary artist (and former sign painter) Ed Ruscha, this vibrant book profiles sign painters young and old, from the new vanguard working solo to collaborative shops such as San Francisco’s New Bohemia Signs and New York’s Colossal Media’s Sky High Murals.
Location: @ IPC VISUAL LAB theatre & Lobby, Le Haitian Centre

Nikki Villagomez
Join designer, blogger, and typofile, Nikki Villagomez, for a look into how culture affects the decision processes of every day life.
For those who mix words with images, this is as crucial to the message we convey as it is fascinating to an observer of those processes. In her presentation, Nikki will use pictures she has taken throughout her travels and talk about the comparisons (and contrasts) in type choices based on location. We will be asking all our members and non members to contribute their personal views of Miami type scene. This is shaping up to be a great event! You can check out some of the images on Twitter and Instagram using the hashtag #ConnecticutType.
Location: TBD
More to come…!
