New design and sign for the Channel Irish pub on Magazine Street. Eve drew the lettering/ornament (adapted from ironwork on the balcony), Vince built the metal can and we painted it before Nate and Justin at Big Sexy Neon added neon. #neonsign #handpaintedsign #logodesign #magazinestreet #nolalife

Can’t wait to see what Colbert offers in the last months of his show. He has nothing to lose.

I pull an oven mitt over the electric coffee grinder to dull the noise.

New logo/sign design for Irish pub on Magazine…soon to grace a metal can sign enhanced with neon. #signart #logodesign

It’s the season to be Irish…Our very first metal can sign circa 2004. Not a real hotel (just a sample). I mean, “five-star flophouse”?

Agree with Claire. Jeff Bezos is entitled to his opinion, but what does it say about him that he is silencing dissenting voices?

Fig is the best!

Logo we designed, hand-drawn, then converted to a vector file. No auto-trace! #logodesign #handlettering #handdrawnlogo

ain’t that the truth! This is grand.

Hi Adrianna. Our shop made that sign—we always hand paint, and it’s always fun to see that people like something we made.
