{"product_id":"sign-painters-pb-isbn-9781616890834","title":"Sign Painters PB","description":"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, die-cut vinyl lettering and inkjet printers has ushered a creeping sameness into our visual 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 \u003ci\u003eHandmade Nation\u003c\/i\u003e, and Sam Macon began documenting these dedicated practitioners, their time-honored methods, and their appreciation for quality and craftsmanship. \u003ci\u003eSign Painters\u003c\/i\u003e, 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.","brand":"Princeton Architectural Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44896090194149,"sku":"NP9781616890834","price":27.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/sign-painters-pb-isbn-9781616890834","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
