I’ve always had a love for rust, old cars, old junk, automobile racing. gas station memorabilia, etc.  But let’s face it, all of the original items are very expensive and hard to come by and most reproductions just have that mass-produced feeling. 

I try to give real character to each sign and look for unique images that nobody else is recreating.  Some of the images are pretty common but I only go for the ones that are just too classic to pass up.  The signs shown below are not necessarily in my “for sale” collection at the present time.  They are a representation of the kind of work I do.  Many have been sold and some I just don’t want to part with.  Also, I’m not limited to auto-related subjects...it’s just what I like the most.

If you have an idea or an image that you would like recreated into a retro sign or you have any questions, please contact me. 

New signs will be added to this site so check back frequently.

Thank you for your interest.

Most signs are painted with an oil-based paint on vintage sheet metal (tin or aluminum).
