Read MoreCaught! - Thanks Hidden Treasures Thrift Store for the Review
For the last two years I have been periodically purchasing landscape paintings at my local thrift store, painting a rubber duck on them, and then returning the painting back to the same thrift store with the hope that someone will purchase it. I kept a low profile about it as I wasn’t sure where this venture would lead me. My hope was that someday I could make an easter egg-like hunt out of the whole thing and maybe inspire people to play along. Who knows… maybe make some actual money too!
Time passed…
Read MoreNew sign painting up at Las Estrellas Dual Language School in NE Minneapolis.
New sign painting up for Las Estrellas Dual Language School in NE Minneapolis. 24x72,” latex paint on wood paneling + wall.
Las Estrellas is in the process of incorporating its mascot (the owl) into its hallways to connect with students and build its identity. With that said, the mascot uses dual text to help the children with comprehension and enhance their cognitive skills. Since their library sign needed a makeover… I combined the owl and the library signage to help get the message across.

Read MoreNew sign painting commission for NE Minneapolis woodshop
I recently completed a commission work for a local workshop in town. A humorous take on the shops work ethos. No, it’s not a real word but.. you get it right?
‘Perfekteschagen - Anything else… is uncivilized”, enamel paint on wood, 18 x 24.5”. To get the right feel for the work I went with a font that reminds me of a German beer, something like a Yuengling (which apparently is not a German beer but that is what popped in my mind initially) I made one goof though and forgot to seal the wood before I painted it so the lettering took a lot longer than it needed to. But perhaps by writing it down here it will help me to remember next time.
With the holidays quickly approaching I have to put it out there that a hand painted sign is the PERFECT gift for your business or home. Give the gift that keeps on giving, support local art! Click the link for more info…
