New hand painted sign on paper.
“Ice Cold Drinks” enamel and latex paint, 18.75 x 26.25” 2021
This piece is sporting the Icy caps to help accentuate the cold. I’m probably going to do those again when I get to snow cones. This one is obviously text only but I might do another one down the road with a cup + straw in it. Soda, orange, and grape drink are the first to come to mind.

Things are on a roll here! Since moving to Minneapolis, MN I have been focused on painting signs relating to fairground food, or maybe its carnival food. Are they the same thing(?)
Right now I have twelve food items I would like to address, snow cones, pretzels, corn dogs, etc.
Why the interest in this imagery? Usually when I get an idea I just go with it so that I don’t overthink things. But perhaps I’m feeling nostalgic after being in pandemic lockdown for so long… or maybe I want to indulge in junk food… I’m not sure. Or food relating to entertainment? I told myself that I didn’t want to make art anymore so perhaps these paintings are the antithesis of that statement.

New sign painting on paper, 16x26" each. (These are not photographed correctly but I wanted to share them anyway) I decided to make a series of food signs.... because, well, maybe that's just how I feel lately. Comfort food for some, junk food for others. Definitely nostalgic, blatant.
More to come! Pop-corn might be next, or cotton candy(?)
Nice to see Sign painter @DustySigns on the April cover of MPLS - St Paul Magazine. Any promotion to help the raise awareness to the craft is a good thing… A rising tide lifts all boats!
New hand painted sign:
‘NICE’, 8.25 x 13”, enamel, acrylic, latex paint on a scrap piece of plywood.
With this sign I was more interested in the color combo… although have you ever heard about Minnesota N’ICE? It’s probably nothing. Although I have been thinking about it. Or maybe this sign just came out looking good. For example: “That is a NICE looking painting.”
