Have you noticed its been.. um, a bit chilly out? Try hanging off the side of a building and painting in these frigid temps!! Wind…rain… snow… nothing will keep us away. #alwayshandpaint.

Friday Round up:
We’ve had quite the exciting week!! We were featured on Tumblr’s Storyboard with a behind-the-scenes video. Hear from company founders Adrian and Paul, and follow our muralist Jason as he paints a large-scale mural for Etsy in freezing temps, here.
The video was also picked up by Hypebeast, Swissmiss, DefGrip and more. Our many thanks to the stellar Tumblr storyboard crew for making such a rad video!
In other news, we’ve reached over 500 fans on Facebook! We love what we do and we feel so lucky to share it with you all. If you haven’t already, like us on Facebook and help us reach the big 1,000.
Lastly, have you seen one of our logo walls in the city? We’ll send the first couple people to send us a photo a sweet Colossal tee. Learn more, here.
Happy weekend!
Hope you had a wonderful start to the New Year! We’re back in action with this wall for Jvdf. Can’t wait to see what 2013 has got in store for us. Stay tuned…
Come one, come all! Eat, drink, & be merry with us for the book launch of Sign Painters, a book about the art, history, and dedication behind the craft of sign painting and those who keep the tradition alive (including yours truly!)
Also check out Sign Painters in The New York Times 2012 Holiday Gift Guide.
The more things change, the more they stay the same:
1948 walldogs vs. 2012 Colossal walldogs.
We use the same techniques our predecessors were using more than 50 years ago in order to keep the careful craft of hand paint alive and on walls throughout the United States today. (Thinking we need to bring those overalls back too- Colossal style).
