I've well and truly had enough of selling on Etsy. Ten years of fees, algorithm changes and now watching the place fill up with AI generated listings while genuine makers don’t stand a chance.

I recently went down to Bardstown for a menu refresh at Five Brothers Bar! We loved the style of the first version we did a few years back, with colorful, illustrated bourbon cocktails to complement the minimal, classic style of the menu board. #louisvillelove #menudesign #customsignage

That's a tough one. I'd have to say April 25th. Because it's not too hot and not too cold. All you need is a light jacket."

Sometimes I get asked about my "favorite" kind of lettering, and that's impossible to answer. BUT, I can tell you that one style that always makes me happy: this blended chalk texture on a nice, smooth chalkboard. #Chalkboard #LouisvilleKY #ChalkMural #ChalkArtist #HandLettering

I'm deep in the season of sidewalks! I love designing these signs and painting them up to be something unique and welcoming. #sidewalksign #louisvilleky #customsignage #windowlettering #smallbusinessbranding

Carousel of hand lettered sidewalk signs created over multiple seasons. Designs include chalkboard A-frame signs with custom lettering for small businesses, featuring seasonal phrases, promotional messages, and bold script and block letter combinations. Outdoor storefront settings in spring and summer light.

Projector, grid, and good ole fashioned string, tape, and a ruler to create perspective lines for what would eventually become trees on my big chalk mural. It's not the most, but it DOES set the whole mural up for success. #Chalkboard #LouisvilleKY #ChalkMural #ChalkArtist #HandLettering
