New sign painting up for Las Estrellas Dual Language School in NE Minneapolis. 24x72,” latex paint on wood paneling + wall.
Las Estrellas is in the process of incorporating its mascot (the owl) into its hallways to connect with students and build its identity. With that said, the mascot uses dual text to help the children with comprehension and enhance their cognitive skills. Since their library sign needed a makeover… I combined the owl and the library signage to help get the message across.

New signage heading to a collector in NYC
New sign painting on wood paneling, 10x10” each, acrylic + enamel paint.
I saw an advertisement for the film ‘She Said’ on a news website and I liked the text’s ambiguity. It made me think of King George’s song in the Broadway show, Hamilton. (of course in that song the king sings, you say, not he said.) Anyway, I wanted to paint just the words She Said, but when I thought about it it felt as though it could use a partner. So She Said - He Said… seemed like a good fit!

Video showing the front and back of my hand painted sign, 'UNKNOWN'
The ‘UNKNOWN’ signage was actually painted on the back of another sign I did a while ago - ‘Plan 9 from Outer Space.’ I didn’t want the original anymore… but I didn’t want to throw it away so…
Reuse, Recycle!
I guess in some ways this duality (and its rugged nature) fits the theme. Two for one!

Read MoreNew sign painting for Forgotten Star Brewery in Fridley, MN.
New sign painting up at Forgotten Star Brewery in Fridley, MN. - Sign writing on glass is always a tricky balancing act because your eyes flip between the stencil (located on the front side of the glass) and the surface you’re painting on (backside). This can cause your focus to go in and out as you paint. (sometimes I close one eye to help me to concentrate)..
