This cool shot was sent to me about a half hour after this sign left the shop.

What a cool sign.

My friend .schiller is leaving Chicago on a new adventure and so I am the very lucky recipient of this awesome sign that was in his collection. Thank you Vince!

We inherited these chairs with our house and have been wanting new cushions forever. Finally ordered the cushions, waited several months.
Cushions arrived and were 2” too wide. Oops!
Crafted new seats and chair backs to fit new cushions. Added a little bit of color to the spindles and plugs for fun.
A few weeks back and forth between shop and garage and they’re finally finished.
Swipe for process shots.

My friend saw a stranger, (my friend) wearing a Chicago Sign Systems tshirt. Now they aren’t strangers anymore.

You both made my day with this photo!

These guys are both awesome, do great work, and are fun people to be around.
Niko is a talented graphic designer and Neal is an excellent photographer.
