Making the Wheelsmith sign

Here’s one of those how-the-hell-do-I-do-this-jobs? I love ’em.

Jayson, the client, had definite ideas of what he wanted. He cut a mock-up from 6mm foam PVC board with a stencil knife to show me. It was about 250mm [10 inches] wide.

He was specific that he wanted the bicycle wheel lying over, showing it in a perspective view. That proved to be the most difficult element of the job—making the oval work.
