Back to the Future – Bringing Back the Vintage Sign
Who doesn’t love those great old kitschy neon signs that used to grace Main Streets all across America? Everyone, right?...
Our cultural history is reflected in our signage, and sadly much of that history is disappearing at an alarming rate. The craft of making hand-painted and neon signs is a dying art form that has been replaced by generic computer generated images and LED lights. My passion for painting these great signs from the past comes from my love of good design and typography. I have come to realize I’m a really a preservationist at heart, committed to immortalizing these signs for everyone to enjoy just a little bit longer.
