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

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

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
