Rick - New BookDebbie Belcher mentioned a new product to me today at www.foamvisions.com. I went there tonight to check it out. This new company has all the old Carvagio foam plaque molds, plus they manufacture some darned interesting foam textured sheets. Stone, asphalt, pebble walk, barn wood, and so forth. Worth checking into.
The August Signs of the Times had a new Wood Composite Panel in the New Products section called Extira (TM). Has anyone seen or tried it? 800-255-0785 or www.extira.com
These are just two of the new products I've seen or heard of lately. If you've seen something of interest, maybe the rest would like to hear about it or make comments about it if they have any first hand knowledge.
This would be a great time to hear from some of the people who have been visiting the Forum but not posting.

Ron Norwood"Environmental Graphics: Projects and Process" by Wayne Hunt. (Try Amazon)
Explores a variety of issues regarding large cale signage projects with a few hand painted signs done at the Paris Las Vegas Casino. Anyone interested in getting into this type of work should get this book. Even if you can't, you can hook up with a company who does, since most sign companies do not do handpainted, glass or craft signage.
