How to Make Vintage Hand-Painted Signs with a Laser Cutter!

Jen shares a brilliant and simple technique for replicating vintage hand-painted signs using a laser cutter and off-the-shelf materials. It's a super satisfying way to create the look of precision hand-painting using vector art and vintage typefaces, and works great with bright paints and gilding on clear cast acrylic. Follow along as Jen walks us through how to prep the artwork in Illustrator and carefully paint a beautiful piece of sign art!
