Final sign painting up at Naab Machinery Sales in Blaine, MN. Thank you for the opportunity!
Naab was interested in having their company’s information hand-painted on the back of their garage doors so that when they photographed their machines in front for online sales, their info would be seen in the background. Four doors, four signs - a great/practical way to reach out to their customers.

A great/practical way to reach their customers! A hand-painted sign can offer your business a level of sophistication and charm that cannot be captured in vinyl alone, reflecting to your clients that you care about details and will take a hands-on approach to the service they receive.

Read MoreFor the last two years I have been periodically purchasing landscape paintings at my local thrift store, painting a rubber duck on them, and then returning the painting back to the same thrift store with the hope that someone will purchase it. I kept a low profile about it as I wasn’t sure where this venture would lead me. My hope was that someday I could make an easter egg-like hunt out of the whole thing and maybe inspire people to play along. Who knows… maybe make some actual money too!
Time passed…
