@janton. You’re always switching it up, you have a very unique blog, sir, thanks for keeping us guessing. @jlsplatts, you should come see the line work Janton featured here.

Those pictures were great! Too funny. I have a handful of “how the..” pictures I’ve taken over the years, I’ll share some here if you don’t mind me using your space. For example, here’s one, I snapped this picture in one of the distribution stations in LA. The stencil that made its way to this entry point (that ‘entry point’ is actually called a ‘peckerhead’—true story) touched many hands in the city of LA. There’s actually a stencil shop with trained professionals, a foreman overseeing operations, and a quality control that verifies the product before it leaves the shop. That’s not all.

Once it leaves the shop, a material handler delivers it to the painter. The painter then needs to verify the work with his foreman and then be watched by a Safety Observer who’s trained with electricity so that the painter can’t get hurt by painting the wrong piece. The foreman of the safety observer assigned him his task. @janton, that’s a whole bunch of eyes that looked at this stencil until it reached its final destination—nobody noticed. But I did! Not sure how long the paint has been there but as soon as I saw it I took a picture of it and showed everyone on city payroll. 👍🏿 And now everyone who reads your blog.
