Island Peace sign - far out!




This sign is now at a beach house on Ocracoke Island...very nice. See the cool smaltz background, carved elements detailed painting. Also, note how the carving on the edges looks like rope. Very cool sign. We really do love making signs...

Roanoke College Pediment



We created and built the pediment at the top of those columns for Roanoke College to use when they speak in front of large groups. It is light, portable, and mimics the architectural design of their building.

And it looks cool...

Personal sign for customer


A customer of ours recently brought in three photos of her father...and she asked us to design a sign using different things from each photo--he wore a specific shirt in one, had various vegetables in another, and a different hat in another. Phil, amazing artist that he is, and Lisa and Phil, painters extraordinaire, along with our amazing production team produced this sign.

Perfect Example of a 3-Dimensional Sign




And this one moves...we didn't make it, of course. That's Tom (artist), Debra (finance), and Al (the owner) blowing weiner whistles in the photo...

We Don't Sell Signs...We Solve Problems


What is in our best interest? To take all your money and keep selling you signs because vandals keep stealing them? Nope! We need to solve the problem...

A customer recently had some "Slippery When Wet" signs made...and soon after called to order more. I asked why everything was so slippery over there, and she told me that the kids were stealing them--"You know...they like that. 'Slippery when wet'...get it?"

I said, "I've got a better idea than just selling you more for them to steal. Why don't we reword the message to Caution. Wet Floor. Step Carefully."

Now, they have signs they'll get to keep and use...

Another problem solved...and that's what we do. We don't sell signs...we solve sign challenges.

We have a New Look!

Our website has gotten an upgrade!  We still need to put more photos of our completed signs on it (under the Gallery section), but we've gotten a well-needed facelift on-line.
