Sometimes, you find your path in the strangest ways, which is exactly how Mark Cheyne became a masterclass sandblasting artist. While he had primarily focused on painting and hand-lettering, he quickly realized the sign he had made himself for a booth at a local market was a bigger draw than the paintings he was trying to sell – and it was because of the sandblasting.
He quickly realized that his sandblasting, combined with his talent for painting, could add dimension to his signs and an eye-catching showpiece for his customers. The contrast on the Razzmatazz sign makes it stand out from the brick wall it’s mounted on. Learn more about his life and techniques in “Mark Cheyne: Still sandblasting, still painting”.
