lining
Undertaken by hand using no tape, I have an extensive knowledge of lining schemes for steam and heritage vehicles and bring this to the fore to undertake lining (often referred to as ‘pinstriping’) work. Authentic and meticulous in execution, lining offers a finishing touch to the restoration of historic vehicles.
my services
My upbringing and passion have led me to offer my services in traditional signwriting, lining and fairground art specifically to the fairground, circus, steam and heritage industries.
If you have a restoration project that needs signwriting, lining or decorative work, please get in touch.

research
To begin any project, I undertake research - of photographs, manufacturing build sheets and other historic documentation - which shapes the pencil sketches produced to showcase initial ideas.
refine
These sketches are refined to produce a hand-drawn, to-scale, final design. If relevant, colour research and tests are undertaken at this stage.
execute
To execute the work, my tools are traditional and authentic: enamel paint applied with a brush, supported with the use of a mahl stick and palette. If required, I am adept at gold leaf application.
communicate
My approach when undertaking a project is to remain in conversation with the client at each stage, adapting the work and process depending on their feedback.
