This was the bottom floor of my old studio....We sold the property, and I am in the process of building a new Studio / Workshop in the mountains of NC.
The Sprite Boy and Coke was painted from an original Coke Wall Painting ( About 1/3 size ) I worked for Coca-Cola Co in the 50,s...This is typical of the work done on store walls around the country. (Of course we put the name of the store on the wall ) "I still have the original art sent by Coca-Cola for this painting."
Very nice, Shep. I really miss wallart and barn paintings. When I was a kid, "See Rock City" was everywhere, and now they are all but gone from the landscape. Damn shame.
Keep posting this stuff... I like to see other folks shops and outside signs!

Nice work Shep..I recently met a fella 85 years old that painted billboards until 1970 when he lost 85 percent of his sight..a friend of mine bought an old house that he had used as a studio/shop and it was filled with boxes of sign layout sheets. I asked my friend what they were going to do with all these and he said he would ask the fella. Well by the time I got back to se him the old feela had gone in and cleaned up and took all of it to the dump..what a waste..
