As a signwriter of over 30 years experience, anyone who says (or gives the impression) this work is traditional sign writing is a liar. They’re just computer cut – no art or craft here. Nic.

Hi Nic, thanks for your interest in this campaign. I can assure you that each headline in the campaign was indeed hand painted onto the wood, before being photographed and made into a poster. I still have the original wood blocks and would be happy to supply you with the ‘making of’ photos that can also be found at the Jack Daniels Australia Facebook page. Regards. Tom.
