Nevermore

Another sign of mine. Poe themed, natch.

Something Wicked

Another dark sign I made from the 'barn wood' collection. The saying is "Something Wicked This Way Comes..." from either Ray Bradbury's 1962 novel of the same name, or from Shakespeare's 'Macbeth,' depending on your reading habits. I went with a combination of both for inspiration - the font is Olde English, and the colors are very carnivalesque.

Signs

A friend of mine was asked to tear down an old barn, with the caveat that he get to keep whatever he wanted from the job. When I say 'old barn' I mean OLD. This barn must have been ancient. The wood was incredibly soft and dry - almost like foam core - and light as a feather, with a bit of a musky 'barn smell' attached to it.

I was lucky enough to score a few planks from the haul with the idea of turning them into some cool Halloween-related signs. Here's the first effort. Not sure if it's quite finished yet - it feels like it needs something more - but I'm pretty pleased with the direction it's going. The actual quote reads:

"Those born on Hallowe'en shall see more than other folk."
