deja vu

i got overconfident! this sign wasn't readable enough from afar, so i had to fill in the chartreuse with black. whhaaaa! i really liked it and it was oh-so-fun to paint. you can see the difference lighting makes, too, in the color; in the first photo it was dumping rain and the second, a sunny day.

chimera gallery

if you're in lopez village, swing by chimera gallery and check out their new sign and freshly renovated space....it looks really great. congrats to this local artists' cooperative celebrating their 25th year anniversary! it's quite an accomplishment on our sleepy little isle. i'll take another photo after the christmas lights go away.

one more sign from last year that i didn't get a chance to take a photo of...

thank you, lopez, for an excellent year

i painted 40 signs for 16 different clients on the island this year. i am so grateful to the lopez community for supporting my work in this way! one of my favorite things about this work is meeting a lot of people on the island with whom i wouldn't normally cross paths; and, for the first time i didn't have to get "another job."  i wasn't able to photograph all new projects before i left, but i'll get my portfolio caught up this winter.
 i've spent 13 years on the 'pez and some things there are making me  really crazy....i'm staying away for a bit, but i WILL be back. love and blessings to all, b

to the village

maybe now that one corner, you know the one, going down to town, with like 17 separate sandwich boards, will clear out a bit? it's sort of a traffic hazard. thanks, white bear!

thanks sabrina!

lopez center for community and the arts

i am so grateful to the lopez community for supporting me in my work; the center could have gotten these signs done for a lot less money, but voted to hire me anyhow. thanks so much, lopez!

one more for horsedrawn farm

i can't believe ken and katherine let me get away with the speech bubble, and the bacon.
