In this episode Gary Mansfield talks to Sign painter Alex May Hughes (@alexmayhughes).

Alex Discovered Sign Painting after wanting to revisit a project she had undertaken on her graphic design degree involving typography, by chance her local art shop was running a sign painting workshop and the rest is history.

Alex worked from home and would post her finished pieces online, while still working in retail to pay the bills. Being a life-long fan of the Simpsons, she used them as the subject in one piece, substituting their yellow skin for gold leaf. It sold immediately when posted online and they have been a huge part of her career ever since.

Her smaller, more intimate pieces are now in such demand, she rarely works outside of her studio, only to occasionally assist fellow sign painters on larger jobs.
