The Blackboard Lady

Sometimes old-fashioned advertising is the cleverest kind.
Before algorithms, boosted posts and endless scrolling, there was the humble blackboard.
And you know what? It still works.
A hand written board outside a pub, café or shop catches your eye. It’s personal. It’s changeable. It makes you stop for a second and actually look.
And unlike a social media post, your blackboard is sitting right there where your customers are.
No scrolling required. 😉

There’s something rather lovely about keeping a little bit of old-fashioned advertising alive.
Hand-written. Made for you. Designed to make people stop and look.
That’s what The Blackboard Lady does. 🖤✍️

🖤 SPOTTED! 👀
The Blackboard Lady has made an appearance at Eufloria’s fabulous pop-up market!
There’s something rather lovely about seeing your work out in the wild, especially when it’s helping a brilliant local business
Got a blank window, boring A-board or menu that needs a bit of personality?
Give it to The Blackboard Lady. ✍️🖤

Sketchbook stage → window painting next.

I’m working on some autumn designs for The Blackboard Lady and this one’s shaping up nicely.
If you want seasonal artwork on your windows or boards, message me I’m booking in autumn slots now.

Prior planning and prep saves a world of faff later on and double check your spellings. I managed to spell assistance wrong three times!

I spent yesterday creating signage for a gorgeous new brocante The DEN opening in Harleston this Saturday.
Really proud to support another independent business.
