1956 neon sign at the Siesta Motel in Durango. While these old beauty is well-preserved, other #AtomicAge and #Googie signs are being removed. In fact, I just learned that some of these signs I photographed or sketched in Las Vegas a few years ago are now gone.
Illustration of the Cuban Café roadside sign in Cuba, New Mexico, rendered in watercolor and Copic markers in an early-1960s Googie / Atomic Age style.
Cuban Café, Cuba, #NewMexico. An early-1960s Atomic Age roadside sign. This #Googie style has been disappearing throughout the southwest as neon and hand-built steel give way to LED boxes, earwax-colored boxes and corporate fonts. I started this in Fresco and finished it in watercolor and Copic.

A black and white ink-stippled drawing of the Norm's sign from Norm's on La Cienega Blvd. in Los Angeles. A towering, vertical sign, with NORMS written vertically from top top bottom, each letter on its own sideways-pointing white diamond. Each diamond is lit with a series of vertical white neon lights, which backlight the large letter on each diamond.
A close-up of one of the large letters on the Norm's sign, showing the detailed stippling.
NEW ARTWORK DROP: Beloved Los Angeles Eateries Edition. Norm's on La Cienega!
Original artwork, 0.15mm archival ink pen on Bristol board. 60 hours.

The sign for the now closed Milk Farm restaurant visible from I-80 in California in Dixon. It has imagery which references the line, "the cow jumped over the moon," from the old Cat & the Fiddle nursery rhyme.
Is anyone else sad about the Milk Farm sign? The 'k' on the west facing side is almost gone (unlike this file photo)
