couple more pieces for a jazz club in Rockford, IL.
These are a pia, but when they're done I realize they are actually fun to do. Every step presents new challenges and opportunities to figure it all out...

Where's Norman!!

Said it before, say it again, you get all kinds in this biz...

Dia De Los Muertos

So my friend Sam from Firecracker Studio asked me to show in his day of the dead show at a nice little place downtown. I put together this guy sort of last minute. Sadly, there is a ton of detail in the painting which is completely lost in the light, but use your imagination and trust me, it's really scary. Like, it'll keep you up at night. Way more scary than those crappy Saw movies, but not as scary as the original exorcist. Well, maybe not that scary, but it was neat enough to sell the night of the opening.
Graffiti skull with a billion (at least) holes drilled in it, back lit with 15 mm clear red and 15mm 6500 snow white, juiced by a tnt 9000/30. Top-o-the-line stuff :).

Old school OLY sign,

This guy just came in because he liked neon, he is a fan of military history, and ka-blamo, he got a very bright Air Force patch all done up in neon like...

Going to be hung in a classy jazz club...

This is a pretty big sign, 42 x 21, using two transformers with 9 and 10 mm glass. It was fun to do, but like the blatz sign in the previous post, I was pretty convinced this neon also wanted to kill me...

more than likely, in my sleep...

this sign nearly killed me...
