Sunday Reading: Sign Painters


Happy Sunday friends.  What did you get up to this weekend? I've been working on our new lookbook (hopefully ready for tomorrow) but did get a chance to sneak out and catch Faythe Levine while she was in town for her newest book-based documentary Sign PaintersSMASH gallery hosted a book signing and me and the boys stopped by and snapped a few pics.  The car above was definitely an eye catcher out front (flames and all - can you see them?) and was deserving of a little flame throwing photo effects I thought.


A sign painter in action. These guys are the real deal, turpentine and all. The fumes were also at the exhibit which featured some local talent creating their craft. Did you get a chance to see the film? Sadly we couldn't make it due to conflicting schedules, but word on the street gave some pretty good reviews. Three cheers to Lotus Events for hosting the event!

One of my favourite pieces in the exhibit.

And if you're a fan of this beautiful and hopefully not disappearing art, the book is pretty inspirational and visually rewarding. Available through the publisher, Princeton Architectural Press and on Amazon.  Happy Sunday!
