Traditional Signwriting & Murals
A printed sign looks like every other sign on the street. Signwriting doesn't. A hand-painted shopfront, window or wall has character a printer can't copy, and it tells people a business cares about how it looks.
Signwriting is where we started
John Lewis began as a ticket writer for Myer and Darrell Lea in 1955. In 1969, the business that would become Alpha Lewis Signs opened its doors. Paul Lewis joined as an apprentice in 1980, when brushwork was still how most signs were made. Three generations later, we still paint signs by hand in our North Melbourne workshop.

We design the artwork with you, check it on site, then paint it. For larger murals we prepare the wall, sketch it out and paint it in stages so your business can keep trading.

Painted signs often sit alongside 3D lettering or window signage. We can handle the whole shopfront. For hand-painted work on architect or designer-led projects, see creative and architectural collaborations.
