Some new sign painting in the oven... figuratively speaking.

Working on some new signs this week. I’ve been getting some inquiries lately about pricing (must be something in the air?) so I’ll start being more forthright about the cost for each work… if one is interested.

And for those of you who are interested…

Holiday signs are back from the store and...

I set out on a mission a few months ago to make 3x6” hand-painted signs for a consignment shop in my neighborhood. Each one has magnets on the back so that you can hang them on your refrigerator (if you want to).

New hand-painted ‘thank you’ sign ready to ship to a theater in NYC. I saw a show (again) recently and I wanted to show my gratitude for the experience. A thank you card of sorts, for their hard work and dedication during these covid times. So I thought… why not paint them a sign?!

New 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…
