New Sign Painting up at Las Estrellas Duel Language School in NE Minneapolis, MN

May 29, 2024

New signage on a shipping container at Las Estrellas Duel Language Elementary School in connection with Pedal Power MN (a 501c-3 nonprofit that uses donations to directly build bike fleets and teach kids how to ride all over Minneapolis. Arguably the best school-based biking program around!) I got the painting done in…

New sign painting up at Las Estrellas Dual Language School in NE Minneapolis.

February 14, 2023

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.

New sign painting on a scrap piece of wood. ‘Ice2’ - 14 3/8 x 15 3/4”, acrylic and enamel paint.

New sign painting for Forgotten Star Brewery in Fridley, MN.

August 11, 2022

New sign painting up at Forgotten Star Brewery in Fridley, MN. - Sign writing on glass is always a tricky balancing act because your eyes flip between the stencil (located on the front side of the glass) and the surface you’re painting on (backside). This can cause your focus to go in and out as you paint. (sometimes I close one eye to help me to concentrate)..

Sign painting for Naab Sales Corp

April 25, 2022

New sign painting for the offices of Naab Sales Corp at 2200 108th Lane NE; Blaine, MN.

The good folks at Naab reached out to me and asked if I could help add some personality to their office space. Logos, quotes, general signage, etc. A total of six signs! We met and discussed some ideas and I sent them over a digital mockup so that they could visualize how it would look within the space. A few adjustments later and we were ready to go! So as to not disturb them during their business hours I painted the signs at night, usually between 7-1 am. See images below…

New sign painting in the offices of La Radiant

June 24, 2020

New hand painted signage at the offices of La Radiant in Midtown Manhattan. 18.5 x 34.5”
“La Radiant is a jewelry design and production company that offers wholesale jewelry lines as well as private label services.” This is the first sign I’ve been able to paint since March due to the NYC quarantine so a big THANK YOU for the support!

It is still quiet in Manhattan but there is some movement (some businesses are open, some people walking around). So hopefully we are on the road to recovery. Fingers crossed…
