I ran into Sonny Franks at the Walldog meet in Pontiac Illinois and loved his Coca Cola mural. I didn’t get a chance to work with him but maybe next. A few years ago I started enlarging and painting Coca Cola post cards on the walls of our kitchen. I painted over one of them and keep this one. I thought it would be cool to change the walls once and a while. I haven’t got to it yet.
Sorry about jpeg I’ll try to get a better one.

I too love old Coke signs, both the old movie poster and this one look great!

My neighbor has a small old barn hear in town and its screaming paint me. I think it needs an old Coca Cola sign.

I have that sign, the original done by one of my favorite artists, N.C. Wyeth.

My wife and I had purchase Coca Cola post cards on our trips. That was one we really liked so I put it on the wall. I think it would be nice to have a panel jam and recreate old Coke ads. Then learn a little history about the artist that first created the image. I have a few post cards of Norman Rockwell I would like to see enlarged.

Anybody have some cool old Coke stuff?

I collected Coca Cola items for years. The collection started small but grew rapidly... and folks started sending me things from around the world. It grew to more than 400 items over the years.
When I built my new studio I thought I had plenty of room to display it all, but books, models, sign samples and panels from others soon started to displace the Coke stuff. Late last year I finally boxed the last of it and it is all now in storage and for sale...
