So I have been working with an awesome gal, Susan, on the creative development of her new and fabulous coffee shop to be... Flying Cat Coffee Company! It is in SouthEast Portland on 30th and Division, it is not quite open yet but soon people, very soon! I am not exact on the grand opening date yet (who ever nails a grand opening date anyhow?) I will let you all know when I have all of that top secret info.
I just want to say that this was so fun to work on, It made me feel like I was the town painter in old France somewhere... I don't know why, but it did... And I loved it... Maybe, now that I think of it, it was because everything was hand cut and painted and no graphic design stuff was donr at all... It was all done the good ol fashion way--by a painter! I absolutely loved the process... And if I don't say so myself... The out come is even more fantastic then I even imagined!
Here is another pic of the sign in progress at my studio... Now that it is hanging up on the front of the building I can let the cat out of the bag!
I also did some A-boards and the front of the building as well... I will post more pics of the completed work once I take some more pictures.
just wanted to tell you that i LOVE this sign. i have been so excited for flying cat to open since i first spotted it! great work :)

Nice sign! I hope the coffee house is as fun as your design. My wife and I really miss Mabel's and tandem...
How do you do the lettering if I might ask? The old fashioned way?

I picked up a card for this place at the Antique Warehouse...the logo is fantastic. I plan on visiting the shop tomorrow, and I hope they have merchandise! I am the obsessive owner of a black beastie, hence the love for the sign...Good work!
