Let's kick off Spooktober Craft Hangout style and talk about ghost signs. Ever seen the side of a brick building and noticed a super old hand-painted ad, maybe partially faded and ghosting away? That's a ghost sign. Obsessed? Us, too! Today's guest, Sam Roberts from Ghostsigns and Better Letters, is an authority on sign painting and an expert on its history and modern direction. Sam's love for sign painting began as a hobby, and he has successfully turned his passion for lettering into a global business. It's an incredible and inspiring story!
