Brad "the Bandit" Bandow & Kit "Sign-Kit" Bandow grew up with art ability in their blood & made a perfect match. Their skill sets mesh & overlap in some areas, so their abilities are pretty wide-spectrum. They've been artists long before computers appeared so they know what paint, brushes, pencils & pens can do in the right hands.
Kit holds a degree in Graphic & Applied Arts, Desktop Publishing & has won some awards at her county fair & is considered "new school" for the fact that much of her career has been invested in computer applications. Kit finds time to create post cards & greeting cards on her network of 3 computers. She has designed countless logos, trophies, print ads, billboards & every type of graphic imaginable. Not only that, she loves to pencil sketch & paint, with her preference being in watercolors.
Brad is a self-taught "Ole Skool" cartoonist, airbrusher & lettering man who
started in this industry 30 years ago in 1986. He worked & partnered in a few shops in that time, as well as briey holding a sales rep position for a major Sign Supply Company.
