Melding Traditional Sign Painting
and Computer Skills
and Computer Skills
Rodney Vicik’s skills were developed through years of continuing education and a desire for excellence.
As important as these hand skills are, they are not the only things that make his signs extraordinary.
Having learned the trade of sign painting just at the brink when computerized sign-making equipment was entering the marketplace, Rodney is competent using both mediums, old-school sign painting and computer technologies, in the production of his signs.

(from his website)
“I am the owner of Red Rocket Signs located in Hampton, VA.
We are the "go to" shop for hand lettering and gold leaf in our area. Our niche is boat lettering, but we also do a variety of commercial sign work with an emphasis on good design.
My interest in hand lettering has led to an extensive collection of sign and lettering books dating back to the late 1800s and into the early 1900s when sign painting was an art form."

"Though I prefer the old method of using pencils and brushes,
I am also proficient at digitizing hand drawn artwork into computer files. In today’s world, most designs will eventually need to be reproduced digitally.
Another by-product of my melding of traditional sign painting and computer skills has been the conversion of hand drawn alphabets into complete fonts that can be installed onto any computer. These are available for purchase in the 'Retro Fonts' section of my website.” -Rodney Vicik
