I went to the Prince block party after work on Thursday night to check out the unveiling of his mural by the artist Hiero Veiga. I had been watching it come to life these last few weeks and I was curious to see how it turned out since the weather here has been questionable these last few days. Lots of rain and wind. The mural is about 100 feet tall on a wall near Ramp A by on the southwest corner of First Avenue and Eighth Street…

Looks like this might…. be the last sign for the year. But there is one more week left so….
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.

New piece is inspired by the book ‘The monster at the end of this book - starring lovable, furry old Grover’.
What can I say, I just had to make this sign… along with a couple of other oddballs that I will be posting soon.

New sign painting on a scrap piece of wood
New hand painted sign on a scrap piece of wood; small one this time… 6.5 x 4.5”. Inspired by text I saw on an Oatly milk carton, (as I drink their product everyday when I pour milk into my coffee).
So that is one interpretation, but I must say that things have been rather dramatic lately so maybe that’s the other inspiration.

New hand painted signage
New sign painting on a scrap piece of plywood. This one inspired by a Nordstrom ‘anniversary sale’ advertisement I saw back in 2018. I photographed a poster of the image somewhere in Manhattan and then just sat on it until it was the right time to use it. Three years in the making(?).
6.5 x 6 1/8”, enamel paint
