I drove 15 miles to take a picture of a sign install that I did about 6 weeks ago. This is what I found. With graphic power at hand I should put a photo of his competitors logo stiched over his, and then send the SOB a copy. Unfortunately the bricklayers weren't able to come up with a very stylistic surround, so the closeup should do ok for my portfolio. This sign is only 5 feet long and the largest sq/foot allowed for housing additions in this city.

Jack....you made the sign, someone else installed, and you are unhappy. ??? Nice sign ! I have had people screw up on install. Isn't it a ****er? One of my signs the lady said would be installed by a professional contractor. I went back to check it out.....the dumbo put big screws right thru the front of the sign, eventhough I supplied the brackets so he could put the sign INBETWEEN the posts.

Very nice work, Jack ! Is that HDU? I know it would be a lot of trouble and time, but, couldn't you airbrush out the real estate sign in one of your art programs? (just wondering) OR...... go back and remove it for a good photo then put it back.
(( you ARE talking about the white realty sign, aren't you ?? ))

Yes, I was talking about the real estate sign. It will be planted there until the development is finished probably, as he is selling all of the lots (90 of them). At 9:00 AM it shadows my whole sign) I just find it in poor taste to plant it where he did. Kind of like a fly in my soup. The entire project got lost in the translation. It went from a builder's wife choosing the sign and having me do a layout on the brick entry , to the builder hands who just wanted cheap and didn't care, to a bricklayer who didn't know. Had they passed it on to a six year old, I think he or she, could have saved the project. Thanks for the compliments on the sign.
