Sthlm Signs // Always Handpainted

Hand-painting. An art form seemingly lost in a digital age of graphic design and technology... but not for Pontus Bergman and Henrik Linquist! The duo picked up sign painting as a hobby in 2015 and quickly recognized the need for their craft in the Stockholm area, creating more of a demand for what they do by starting their company Sthlm Signs the following year. - Many of the massive murals spread throughout the streets of the Sodermalm area near to where the barber shop is are curated by the gents at Sthlm Signs, though it was really when I saw their smaller, incredibly detailed work close up that I was taken away. I'm convinced that hand-painting is the only way, and I think that after listening to this episode, so will you! - This episode makes Sips and Clips history as being the first to feature two guests at once. Alongside my coworker / cohost Robin, it's double the cuts, double the coffee, and double the creative conversation with some hand-painting heroes! - Visit Sthlm Signs at http://www.sthlmsigns.se/. Sips and Clips is released bi-weekly on Saturdays. Keep up and interact with us in between episodes @sipsandclips on Instagram!
