Ready to hang...

 Just finished up this sign, for a new pizza joint here in Paso. Once the paint dries on the slice, I can go install it...

Big things in the works...

 The last few weeks have been a juggling act around the Lucky B Design workshop. Along with the usual number of signs that need to get finished, there is a huge metal sign that is slowly moving towards completion. This sign, not only is different medium than I usually work with, but it takes up a big part of the shop space. It is heavy, and each time I need to move it, I have to find someone to help. So many trips to the metal shop, back to the shop for fab, sandblaster, back to the shop for drilling, and now off to powder coat. Later today, it's back to the shop for patina, and Assembly. I can't wait to see it all come together (outside of my minds eye), and install it. Slowly but surly...

Inspiration...

 I love these old pictures, and the lettering and design work of yesterday. It is inspiring to see the old layouts, and the application. I love the window (top half) border stripe with lettering inside on the Courier Express building. The Calbecks Food Market panel truck is lettered across the drip rail, without regard for the panel area, and it works quite well. These are all ideas that I absorb, and hope to have a chance to recreate someday.
