Health Warning: Vertigo sufferers may want to skip this post or, at the very least, not look down.

Right Way Signs have built an impressive portfolio of hand-painted roof signs over the last ten years, including the latest iteration of Chicago's iconic Morton Salt shed. This was one of the case studies in Alex Perry's BLAG Chat, where he shared their learning from these projects, and insights into how they pull them off.

The next BLAG Chat is this weekend, with Brisbane's Liane Barker telling tales from her 40 years on the brush. It's free, and online.

There's then Bold Statements' BLAG Demo on 7 July where you can learn all about shadows and 3D lettering. (Member tickets are discounted.)

During the talk (recording below), Alex shared this preview of a video they're producing about the Morton Salt project. The final cut is expected over the summer, and I'll post it to this page once it's ready.

Thank you to Alex at Right Way Signs (@rightwaysigns) and Signcrowd (@signcrowd) for sharing these experiences in what was a fascinating dive into the vertigo-inducing niche of massive hand-painted roof signs.
