ON THE WALL / MACK SIGNS
Mack Signs is a traditional signwriting and mural painting business based in north Co. Dublin, led by Cormac Dillon. They work throughout the country painting traditional shopfronts, gilding with genuine gold leaf on glass and painting large scale lettering based murals.
Their style is varied from using clean modern design principles to decorative letter styles embellishing them with shading and shadows and colours. Cormac has a strong passion for the artform and will always go above and beyond to create outstanding work.
