Hi there Springleapers. J
As most of you who visit the store will know the Rocket Turtle design by Darko is up and looking mega grand…yes indeed. However on my last blog posting about the completed Rocket Turtle one of our fearless leaders Eric, suggested that I should overlay a picture of the shirt with the wall mural design…just so you can see how close it actually looks.When you compare the two it’s amazing to see how close David’s looks to the original design.
As always I’m astounded by David’s ability to translate a design from screen onto a wall at a much greater scale. Continue reading ‘Compare Rocket Turtle’

Hi there all u Springleapers.
So here’s an update on the progress of the Bamboozle design on the wall outside the store.

However the sketch is complete and looks really good, now the only thing left to do is add the colour…which also is easier said than done. Continue reading ‘Bamboozle brings on the paint’

Painting on a gate is easy peasy….I mean come on its exactly like painting on a normal wall right? WRONG.
For those of you in the know on painting a wide variety of surfaces, you will know just how much of a pain in the bum painting on metal surfaces can be.As I mentioned a few days back we want to give our gate a lick of new bright Springleap green paint, because let’s face it, our gate has seen better days.
For those of us who live by the sea side we know how quickly metal can rust and get pretty much “pwned” by the onslaught of the sea air….in good ol’ Sea Point the same rules apply.When researching on Google as to what steps to take in painting metal surfaces I picked up a few interesting tips from techno enabled painting gurus the world over.
I thought that I may as well give you a run down on what steps to take when painting metal, just in case the in-laws want you to work for your Christmas dinner LOL.
