I painted a large number address on a garage at a residential home in NE Minneapolis. It took a little while to find the right font, but the client ultimately decided they wanted Ouija board text.
And now their home can finally be found!!

Thrift Store Painting Collaboration Continues - Upcycling a Gea Caporiacco(?) painting
I purchased an oil painting at a yard sale at 25 Benhill Rd, St Paul, MN.

Finished a new hotdog sign for collector in PA
