A random collection of signs I started painting during the Covid-19 pandemic, beginning in March 2020. At the time there was no specific goal in mind for painting these, I just simply enjoyed the process. Inspired by comic books, movie posters, vintage advertising, and the circus arts, I would paint each sign on a scrap piece of wood in my basement during the NYC lockdown. But as time went on it became more apparent to me that my choices regarding this series were more of an indication as to how I was feeling at the time.

This artwork is an ongoing project and I will continue to add to this collection as it evolves.
