Barging In

I stared working with this fellow from Shelter Island In Long Island NY. He approach me through a Picture Framers Blog that My Brother is part of, (to make a long story short)
This Fellow owns a Gallery and he also does Cutom picture framing.


When looking at his website I saw the he is creatvely utilizing a Shipping Container as his studio.
So I thought something that looked somewhat industial would fit the bill.
I sketched out this barge shaped sign to get his opinion.

Picture
His first Impression was not so favorable, he was worried it would make his place look like a boat Yard.
Then Came "SANDY" and I thought I had lost him with the storm.
After some delay It appeared that he had safely made it through he storm and wanted to pick this up again.

The storm delay gave him a chance to digest the design I proposed and He  warmed up to the Idea.


Picture
After some long hours designing with Enroute, and a little back and forth with the client, I finally had something the was looking pretty good.
Here is a screen shot from my monitor of the sign as it would be cut on the router.
The black and white posts above the barge would be fabricated of steel and sandwiched between the front and back of the sign as structural hanging supports.

Stay tunned as this becomes a reality!

      I Owe the ability to take this journey to; My Mom
    (for she bred in me a drive and creativity required for this type of trip) My Incredible Wife and Children for their support, and to the world of creative people that inspire me everyday.
