A bad computer morning

This morning I sat down at my work station woke up my computer and a malicious software program had loaded itself to my drive. We bring in several files in each day: documents, artwork, logos, and photos...I was so busy yesterday I failed to scan each for bugs. Well after four hours of frustration and trying to read removal instructions on my adjacent computer I killed it. You can bet ALL FILES WILL BE SCANNED in the future regardless of deadline time lines!

What I do

The morning I was born my mother was screen printing 7 foot bus benches, so you could say I have been in the business all of my life. I began to help my father Arlie Edwards hand letter at the tender age of 5 by filling in his lettering. As time passed I began to graduate to higher forms of lettering. By the time I was in 9th grade my lettering was on par with the old pros.

Our business has evolved over the last 60 plus years from brushes and paint to the digital age of rips and vinyl. By the way we began printing on pressure sensitive vinyl in the 50's Some of the first police decals ever made were printed by my mother Rosemary. Only the brushes have changed, not the art. A computer is mearly an expensive pencil in which to express a design. In much the same way as a piano is with a song. Some can play it, some think they can.

I love my work, it is my life!
