Hats!!!
Oh I do like a nice looking sign.
.
I don’t like roast beef sandwiches but I had to admire this old school Arby’s sign.
.
I think it’s much nicer than a pig hawking his family’s wares while standing in a pit of fire.
Although he is kind of cute..
For a masochistic cannibal pig chef that is.
.
Now this is a delicious sign.
Yeah, I made that.

.
And this is a happy sign.
We’ve had some construction troubles with our bridges, so..
Yippee!

.
I fell in love this sign.
And yes it does rock.
.
And of course there are always useful warning signs.
.
Mascots creep me out.
Especially the ones with really big furry heads.
Magical things happen..my ass.
This is the perfect sign to start a horror movie with..
Deep in the shadows, the foul stench of a thousand locker rooms emanated from a lumbering monstrosity. As it lifted its gargantuan head, its puppet mouth stretched in a voiceless scream.
They would know! They all would soon know..
The Horror,!
The Pain!
The Abomination that is matted faux fur…
.
Whew. I need to quiet down.
Oh good there’s a sign for that too.
Though I must admit, I’ve never seen a corn head that wasn’t calm.
So this is conclusively catatonic corn. Yummy.
.
This sign is a standard directive.
Eat!!
Okay. That’s a good bossy sign.

.
Hmm.
Bossy and a little disturbing
To the funeral home..
No! Just no!! Stop it.

.
This sign seems to be confused..
Is it Ed’s
Or Art’s
Or is it Ed’s & Art’s
Or Art’s & Ed’s.
Or is it Arts as in The Arts.
Can I go in there and buy some liquor and some canvases and then paint like Pollock?
I think I need a drink.
Ahh, I see what you did there.
Thank you very much.
.
This sign is just pretty.

.
Most of these signs are in or around Galena, Illinois which is where this Inn is.
This is a pen and ink, a little smaller than 3×5.
I did finish it in watercolor but for some reason forgot to photograph it before mailing it off.

.
If you want to see it in color, simply print it off and go to town with some crayons. Enjoy.
These are some calm colorful corn heads in acrylic. 3×5 on canvas.

.
And an autumn scene, in acrylic for a WetCanvas Mini challenge. 3×4 inches.
This is a real quickie. Took about fifteen minutes because sometimes it’s simply fun to throw paint around willy nilly.
And it also gives me the chance to use the word “willynilly”.
I don’t use willy nilly enough.
Or amok.
So run amok and paint willy nilly.

.
Have a good one.
