I'm afraid that until I get back to the UK and have the use of a scanner again, this whole blog will be signage.

more painted signs

I have enough photos of painted signs to take this blog through to next month!

Coney Island!

Ok so I haven't even attempted to blog for weeks but I can't really be blamed because I'm in New York and there's much better things to be doing! But I will attempt to make it up some how. So I went to Coney Island on Saturday, I have to say it was tackier, more garish and more derelict than I could ever have imagined. I enjoyed it so much though. It was worth the 1 hour train ride just for the painted signs. I will post more, I have literally hundreds of photos!

hand painted type

I'm finding lots of painted signs around brooklyn, some of which are awful and some of which are gorgeous! I will post some of each.
