This was an old sign outside the Port Costa Post Office. The town is an artistic junk lovers tiny historic place, filled with wonderful broken or ancient stuff. After I left, I felt the painting was just to smooth for the feeling of the location so I scumbled and textured it until it took on a proper patina.

This definitely has the character of the junk yard. The "ATE" is part of STATE Theater. The sign is in two pieces. It almost looks like its a night scene, maybe from a scary movie.
ReplyDeleteI love this, complex and fascinating.
