AWESOME DUDES!


This is an A-frame I recently painted for Awesome Dudes Printing, a rad screen printing shop in Philadelphia . These signs are enamel and built to last decades- so drop me a line if you or your business needs a sign.

I was in Chicago in May. They're happens be an abundant amount of handpainted sign work- didn't capture nearly enough... didn't even get to snap off a photo of some hot dog signage...
