Fastsigns & MJH ArtStudio: Pioneering a new way to combine graphics and art
Share
Fastsigns Leeds, led by Director Andy Simpson, is a highly regarded signage and visual solutions company known for its innovative approach. Together, we’ve embarked on an exciting partnership that’s opened up new creative possibilities for both of our businesses.
The challenge:
Our collaboration began with a shared goal: to create a unique solution that combined digital print with hand-painted acrylic art. The idea was to offer clients something truly bespoke that could transform their spaces while elevating their brand identity. However, finding the right materials was a major hurdle. The challenge lay in ensuring the printed graphics could bond effectively with the acrylic paint while maintaining durability and quality. We needed to experiment with multiple materials and techniques to achieve the perfect result.
Our approach:
Working closely with Andy and his team at Fastsigns, we tested a variety of material combinations and processes. Their expertise in digital print and our experience in art creation proved to be the perfect match. Through a collaborative and hands-on approach, we finally found a solution that worked: a high-quality printed base overlaid with vibrant, hand-painted acrylic artwork.
This partnership not only solved the initial challenge but also unlocked an entirely new avenue for creating customised, impactful pieces that merge the precision of digital graphics with the expressive quality of hand-painted art.
The result:
The final product is a stunning piece that seamlessly combines digital and traditional art techniques. This solution allows us to offer a fresh, innovative option to clients who want their brand brought to life in a way that’s truly unique.
For Fastsigns Leeds, this partnership has added a new layer to their already impressive offering, demonstrating their commitment to delivering cutting-edge solutions.
