Hand Over Fist Signs

This house number was born and razed in West Philadelphia. The owner found the original ghosted out under a layer of paint that he removed and brought me in to restore it. Swipe to see the original. The 3rd photo is a composite of the steps. I had a decent number to go by and wanted to keep it as close to the original as I could. There were a few spots I had to use my best judgement where it was too hard to see. . . . .... . #alwayshandpaint #westphilly #westphiladelphia #philly #philadelphia #housenumbers #phillysignpainter #phillyhistory See more

Big window job over at @tattootimmys new spot. Reverse glass 23k mirrored and matte gold and 18k engine turned in lines. Red abalone details. All the window images are old tattoo flash outlines, 24 in all. There’s more coming to this shop front, but the glass is done. Thanks @lessposh for the hookup. . . . .... . #alwayshandpaint #newjersey #jersey #tattoo #tattoos #tattooshop #tattooflash #tattootimmys #gold #goldleaf #jerseygold #reverseglass #reverseglassgilding #reverseglasspainting #phillysignpainter #tattoosigns #tattoosign #woodbury #woodburynj See more

Year end review: It feels like this top 9 gives a good range of the year and the people that helped me grow. I left my long-time job at @landisgraphics to pursue my painting full time. My wife and I had a baby which was pretty huge. I got to work on a lot of fun projects in spite of the pandemic (although starting up a full time business in March 2020 had its frustrations). A huge thanks to @gibbsconnors and @keystonesignandcompany for helping me learn the business through so...me of their experience and sharing the workload in the city of brotherly love. I’m so grateful to have clients who trusted me with their storefronts and friends who gave me some work through the slim times. Advice was at my fingertips from @designbrilliance and @hotrodjen to name a couple of the many who were open to answering unending questions. 2020 was unexpectedly a great year in retrospect and I hope 2021 is just as surprising. Thanks everybody! . . . . . #philly #philadelphia #alwayshandpaint #alwayshandpainted #top9of2020 #top9 #phillysignpainter #dalebob #goldleaf #signpainting #grateful See more
