Mostly neon. Sometimes old computers. Occasionally photography, fountain pens, and nixie tubes. Brooklyn but slowly migrating to Palm Springs/Joshua Tree.

A close up of the neon paper airplanes I made. Time to make them a little smaller 😂

Last night, I attended the 25th Anniversary member preview gala for the new book that's been published on the American Sign Museum in Cincinnati, OH.

You can get a copy online and the gift shop.

I spent a few days at Milwaukee’s @vargallery.bsky.social last week making a neon sign of the word “home”. This fits on a shelf my parents built out of leftover wood from the construction of their new neighborhood out of state, as a reminder of the people who are my home even if they aren’t here.

Not neon - but my security camera captured an amazing shot of a lightening strike on 1 WTC last night.

It’s hard to imagine the scale of the arc - it has to be >2x the height of the building

Dairy Queen, Iowa City, Iowa. Established 1952. The place was destroyed by a tornado in 2006. Using only photos to go on, the owners had the neon sign recreated as close as possible to its vintage appearance.

In our last post, we mentioned how neon can be repaired - today's post showcases a letter "T" from a laundromat sign. This was a tube with neon gas, so the repair could be done just by splicing on new electrodes and reprocessing it. This step flushes the tube with helium prior to filling with neon.

We're so excited to share pictures of the restoration we completed on The Carolina Theatre's 32 year old neon sign for their cinemas wing. In preparation for the theatre's 100th anniversary in 2026, they hired us to do a full overhaul and restore the sign to its 1994 glory.

Every week on here I see the #TOTP hashtag and think: 'I ought to dig out the pics I took last year of those neon signs in God's Own Junkyard, in Walthamstow.' And this week I've got my bum in gear and done it. I'm pretty sure these are originals.
