Some quick and fun paper signs I’ve had the pleasure to paint in the last few weeks.

White, mustachioed man, dressed in denim, glasses, and cowboy hat, holding a handpainted paper sign that reads Bozeman Vintage, and features simple illustrations of a cowboy hat, cowboy boot, and blue plaid western shirt. Setting is in a colorful and packed vintage shop, with many boots, belt buckles and vintage ephemera on the walls.

Handpainted, paper grocery sign, painted in blue, yellow, red, and black, and featuring a cartoon illustration of a happy Yellowfin Tuna. Lettering says Yellowfin Tuna, Thawed and Sliced, 238 yen, 257 yen including tax, Per 100g

Handpainted paper grocery sign, painted in yellow, red, and brown, saying Mini Croissants, 12 count, $6.99 each. Features a simple illustration of a single croissant.

New a-board for Storm Castle Tattoo in Bozeman, MT, and a fresh tattoo while I’m at it. I love trades. Tattoos, food, and coffee are the top three trade categories for me to trade for sign work. #handpaintedsign #tattoo #tattooshop #pirate

Plywood, a-frame handpainted sign with the word TATTOO running vertically, and surrounded by a wizards hands, sparkling with magical energy, emerging from a cloud in the background.

Storefront with a black and red sign reading Storm Castle Tattoo above the door. On the ground in front of the door is a plywood, a-frame handpainted sign with the word TATTOO running vertically, and surrounded by a wizards hands, sparkling with magical energy, emerging from a cloud in the background.

Photo of the backside of a forearm with a fresh tattoo of a large pirate ship, with ripped sails and skull and crossbones, plying through green ocean waves.

Couple quick prop signs for a performance of “Neverending Story” for Butte’s children’s theater. Top sign will be in the school, bottom in the bookshop.

I’m really loving this process. It’s so much less controllable than most things I do with paint and gold. You’re just at the mercy of the way the glass chips.

Thanks!

Thanks! I’ve got a ways to go before success is regularly repeatable, but this one worked out pretty well.

For no particular reason I’m posting these bumper stickers that I sell. 100% of the money gets donated to mutual aid projects and they raised over $900 last year.

Final result of this clue chipped test panel. Cleaned up excess gold, black background. Pure class.
