Normally when we see old stuff or find cool signs some people tend to take them to restore right...well what I do is backwards painting on metal can give you so many ideas....from portraits to old signs, to me working on metal is the best way to get some cool texture...you can either keep it simple or make it as old and antique as you want...that is if rustic, vintage is the goal....I have a series of Clint Eastwoods going the last one is on metal and let me say that is the coolest piece I´ve done so far at least one of my favorites, but but I recently finished a portrait present for Willie Nelson from me...the texture this piece has is incredible, detail and color mix with age give it that vintage look...the frame is a wood frame white wash, sand down so it looks older...the combination of both makes it a unique piece almost western mixed with that old spanish look.
