But, like many skilled trades, the sign industry has been overrun by the techno-fueled promise of quicker and cheaper. The resulting proliferation of computer-designed, die-cut vinyl lettering and inkjet printers has ushered a creeping sameness into our visual landscape. Fortunately, there is a growing trend to seek out traditional sign painters and a renaissance in the trade. In 2010 filmmakers Faythe Levine, coauthor of Handmade Nation, and Sam Macon began documenting these dedicated practitioners, their time-honored methods, and their appreciation for quality and craftsmanship. Sign Painters, the first anecdotal history of the craft, features stories and photographs of more than two dozen sign painters working in cities throughout the United States. 650 0 $a Signs and signboards $z United States. 650 7 $a Signs and signboards. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01118336 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a Documentary films. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Nonfiction films. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Levine, Faythe, $d 1977- $e director. 700 1 $a Macon, Sam, $e director. 941 $a 2 945 $a dvv 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20171229023947.0 952 $l PRAX771 $d 20150502024201.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A73D088CAB7211E4A1AC46C0DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
