Pappy Van Winkle Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, Custom Window

Here we have a near custom window for a small batch whiskey. Eliza had this made for her husband. He would by a bottle when it's available to celebrate new beginnings with work, hence the celebrate be beginnings on the window. Since it's small batch it is a pricey bottle. So Eliza's solution was to have a more permanent representation of Pappy Van Winkle whiskey in the form of this wind-ow. The pappy lettering is similar to the bottle logo, coupled with a vintage script similar to the Indian motorcycle font and a slim yet elegant antique bank font. Enjoy!
Pappy Van Winkle SOLD (approx 24x34in)

Vintage Hairstyling

Pompadours, Pixie cuts, Victory Rolls, and Crew cuts
This window was inspired by those neat vintage hairstyle charts most commonly found in old barber shops. There aren't many out there anymore and I had a hard time finding the right hairstyle images that matched the names. So this window took much more time researching, drawing, and choosing the right styles. All the hairstyles and faces are hand drawn before painted; if you look closely you can find Betti Page, Johnny Cash, and Elvis! (Again, these photographs don't do the window justice! Shot in mixed lighting..)

Hairstyles of Today SOLD

Circus, One of many to come

I have a deep love for vintage hand painted circus or sideshow banners. There is an antique warehouse that owns nearly 20 of them that hang in a gorgeous old warehouse. They are all quite large 10ft by 8ft or so. Some of my favorites include, Turtle Girl, The Fire Breather, Medusa, and Electra. Also of interest are circus prints from Barnum and Bailey's travelling circus. I've always wanted to own some of these posters but that day hasn't come yet. So, I decided to make some windows in the theme of the Circus. I hope to complete many more circus themed signs! Enjoy.

Operation Ivy or Nancy Sinatra?

Op Ivy! Yeah, Nancy did it well, with her knee high boots and all, but I'm referring to the punk rock version from Tim Armstrong and his steel toed Doc Martens. Plus, this neat window with the tough metal L brackets was perfect for a punk rock song. Operation Ivy was the band that turned into Rancid. Check it out, you decide which is best:
