Marquee signs featured in my new Photo Art Portfolio, just published on Amazon!

Whether it’s calling you to see a film or play, promising a delectable meal or an enticing experience, or offering the comfort of a bed for the night, Marquee signs beckon.

I’ve long been enchanted with these colourful entertainment, pleasure, and direction signs, documenting them before they vanish. I admire their concise messaging rendered in vibrant typography and cool designs. And more than a few of my favourite signs communicate without words, through dynamic stand-alone graphics.

You need to look up in the air, away from your cell phone, to see the 49 signs in this portfolio. They’re a mix of vintage and contemporary marquees that I’ve photographed over the years on my rambles around my hometown and in places I’ve visited on my travels.

My Optimism of Color Blog

Every Tuesday and Friday, I’m posting a photo or piece of art that I’ve created that reflects what I call the Optimism of Color. Through vibrant colors and bold visceral forms, these works shout out my joy at being alive, and my good fortune at being able to continue to make art after surviving five cardiac arrests in 2011.

Each of the images I post brings a smile to my face. I hope they bring you similar joy and laughter through the Optimism of Color.
