George - Sign Painter

I’m an 84-year-old SECOND GENERATION SIGN PAINTER.

I’m a dinosaur….a GENUINE “OLD TIME” SIGN MAN

I paint NOSTALGIC - RETRO - "OLD SCHOOL" SIGNS

I was raised in Southern Illinois...now living in Northern Indiana. For the 31 years, I was the sign painter at the Shipshewana Flea Market (the Midwest’s largest mid-week market) painting custom signs for the market, vendors and flea market visitors.

I was at the market painting signs in my sign shop until the pandemic hit.

I still paint every day....I’ll never retire.....I don’t believe in retiring....I don’t fish, hunt or golf….so I just paint....my Dad painted signs until he was 85….I’m just trying to catch up to him....he died at 99-and a half. I’ll tell y’all about my Dad later and post some photos of his sign work from back in the 40’s & 50’s.

I enjoy painting as much as other folks enjoys drowning fishing worms or running around all over the fields and woods looking for a little bitty lost white ball…..I enjoy what I’m doing.....so...I‘ll continue painting signs till I die!

I'LL KEEP ADDING MORE SIGNS ON THIS PAGE

ALL ARE ORIGINALS...

NO MASS REPRODUCED SIGNS!
