A Look Back at The Celebratory End of Prohibition

I've always wanted to make a window in the style of a newspaper headline. What's more celebratory than the end of prohibition!? All original writing, although, I am sure there was a headline that read "Prohibition Has Been Repealed." The tagline was written by me and the date, price, and one copy is the same as on original newspapers from that day in history.
'Cause, if you can imagine, if this day never came... we wouldn't have booze today! Aaahh!
Frame is stripped, stained, and clear coated.
Sold at Renegade Handmade Art Fair.
"Extra! Extra! Prohibition has been Repealed!" SOLD

Double Pain - Bourbon Whiskey

I've said before, paned wind-ows are always a pain. But this guy wasn't a trouble. Why not paint two of my favorite things? Haha, simple and to the point. A nice couple picked up this window at the Renegade Art Fair. 

'Whiskey' is a lettering similar to bank signs from the late 1800s, early 1900s. And the 'Bourbon' lettering is from railroad signage. The frame has been stripped, stained and clear coated.

Check out some of these lovely afternoon sunny photos!

Ed, Caroline, and the Northwoods

Ed, well, he came into the bicycle shop one day looking for an old Raleigh. He ended up finding a beautiful vintage Raleigh Super Course in that nice, rich, brown color. We probably drank a beer looking at the moustache handlebar and bar end shifter upgrades. 

Then, Ed came back. Ed saw my newest find (at the time)... a vintage olive green Raleigh Grand Prix. Oh, Ed, it happens to be in your size.

Well, then, Ed decided he'd like to try on some mechanics' hands and we built the Grand Prix together. 

We drank Modelo in the summer and ate cheese tamales at night.

Then the bicycle was done.

Then, Ed came back with Caroline. Caroline got a bicycle re-worked. We probably drank a beer and talked about those awesome half moon handlebars.

Then, Caroline called and said yo Beaner, let's do a wind-ow yo. And while I drank a beer, I painted a wind-ow. Caroline wanted it to be a surprise for Ed for X-mas.

Caroline made a sweet move... the wind-ow was a surprise for Ed.

"The Northwoods" is Ed's family house in the northern woods of Wisconsin. 

Sounds nice.
