I guess it’s been quite a while since they painted those giant ads. in Times Square. Photoshop killed off more jobs that we can count. Painters, air brushers, photographers and even more important…Artists.
I can blow this one up to almost billboard size if you’re looking for a large X-mas gift!

Not true! I still see them every once in a while: http://i.imgur.com/YOi7C.jpg
Also they pop up a lot around Williamsburg/Greenpoint in the summer…
OK i was wrong, but I think there’s a different system when painting a bricked wall. Each brick has its own color to make it easier. The sign painters do still exist but in fewer numbers.
Thanks for the update Josh!
