the Barbecue

This isn't technically painting, but I have had fun doing a series of blackboards for David Z's barbecue business (where I also happen to be his only employee). 

The tricky thing about working with chalk: there is no sketch or layout to follow, and the slightest touch smears or erases it. 

Still, the colors are great and it's a good layout/lettering challenge. 

We are opening in October, but I have already made this for the road; I am in love with this sandwich board! 

 

The Path of Tranquility

 Originally established around 2007, I made two signs for this greenspace in Lopez Village; one at each end of the trail. One sign has long ago disappeared and this one was attached to a fully rotted stump. 

Weirdly, in 2023 I moved into a house whose entrance shares the beginning of this path. I have been working on some signs since then.... 

This is the old OG sign, 2007.

I added these last year near my house to direct people away from my gate.

Here is the new one! I love it.

this is from a few years ago when i had the second floor of the water tower (but i still offer all of those "services"). i know i need to post more signs in here; i've only got about one-third of them. i'm going to work on that this week!
