One of the most enjoyable aspects of owning my shop is doing signs and graphics for myself. Not only does it showcase my skills for potential clients, but it challenges my abilities to produce images using materials and techniques that aren't used in everyday production.

These door windows are the latest example of this. My good friend Connie Deegan did the stained glass work, and I did the graphics on the centers, pulling out the stops to use a number of glass techniques, including glue-chipping, gilding with various alloys of gold leaf, along with painting, blending and stippling. The results are a striking set of windows, unlike anything else.

Here's a new sign installed on Friday. We built two of these (installed on an existing set of brick pillars) for a resort motel near the beach. The signs are 42" x 6', made entirely of HDU and dibond laminate on an aluminum frame. They replaced carved wood signs done about fifteen years ago. The client has purchased other high-end signs before, for two restaurants, and were very pleased with our latest efforts.
