I always enjoy looking at other show painters work and have always especially enjoyed Jim Hands work. Back from the Hoxie Bros Circus days to the modern day Sterling and Reid and Pat Guthrie's Jules and Beck Shows. It simply screams CIRCUS...

Modern vinyl sign makers cannot outperform the real show painters.
A question for the show painters: is yours an art soon to be lost? Is the next generation showing interested in the profession.

No disrespect to Mr. Hand's talent but when I first glanced at the photo I thought it was Cliff Arquette has "Charlie Weaver".

Is there a way to contact Mr. Hand?

I have a few classic props that would greatly benefit from his touch.

Jim Z,

Do you have a phone # for Jim Hand. Someone wants to talk to him about painting some wagons in Fl. Send it to me at circus4youth@earthlink.net
