Larry's been having fun lately creating new "old" signs. Our friend, Ed, owns a 1941 dump truck that he uses for his business - Vintage Dump. He wanted Larry to letter it for him, but he wanted to look like it had been lettered in 1941 - oxidized, faded and worn. He gave Larry a VW door for practice. We made up the name, "Night Owl Cafe, and designed a logo for this make-believe business and Larry went to work with thin paint and a Scotchbright pad. A few weeks later he produced the sign for the dump truck. It started out light and bright and shiny and gradually aged.
