Joha Mune ⋆ Traveling Sign Writer

HAND PAINTED
SIGNS & GILDING

Hello, hello!

I’m Joha Mune, travelling signwriter.

Traditional, hand-painted signs and gilding are old school trades that almost died in the ‘computer age’. However, in the last few years there has definitely been a revival of the craft.

As sign painting is no longer offered in schools, I have had to travel around the world to learn and work with great painters. Apprenticeships are very rare nowadays but fortunately, I managed to find work experience with a great sign painter in London!

I believe firmly in the power of words and the magic of letters.

Happy Customers

"Johana has done several of our chalkboard menus in De Klimmuur gym. Since she came the menu really has become attractive!

"Great artist and very professional. Johana took my initial concept for a wood board, which was a bit vague, and developed it to a wonderful design. I was very happy with the final result.

"Johana's custom lettering is a great way to personalise a gift! If you are looking for something special for your loved one or just a unique present, she will write a beautiful message for you and she will do it with love!" Thank you Johana."

Painting a boat was a dream job of mine, and here

Painting a boat was a dream job of mine, and here I am, making one more dream a reality. They say, ask and the universe will respond. I truly believe in this.
I asked to live in a different country other than Colombia, and the Netherlands was the answer.
I asked to study in English, my master was the answer.
I asked to work in a company, my job in sales and marketing was the answer.
I asked to change my career, letters were the answer.
I asked to learn from the best sign painters, @portoletterheads and @perry_signs_london were the answers.
I asked to live from what I love, Joha Mune was the answer.
It has been a long path and the probabilities were low, but I didn’t listen to those who said “it isn’t possible, it’s too difficult” I always asked and waited to receive an answer. The universe ALWAYS responds, no doubt about it.

They say that what you’re looking for is looking

They say that what you’re looking for is looking for you. And this story is proof of that.

It was a Wednesday and I was feeling very tired. We went for a coffee in a sweet cafe in the Main Street of the town. To my left was a women working on a laptop. I got introduced to her and after finding out that that I am a sign painter, she said ‘omg, the universe has sent you to me. I have been looking for someone like you for months!’
We talked a bit more and I showed to her some of my work. In that moment she said ‘I want to work with you, do you have time and I can show you what I need?’ I said ‘yes, I’d love to, but I’m only available in two months’ time; on Saturday I’m going to London for work experience.’ She couldn’t believe it but said, it’s ok, I’ll count the days until you’re back. We will work together.

That’s how I got my first job in Northen Ireland. After this one, several doors have opened.
