Your GO-TO sign painter – Old school know-how with today's technology – since 1981.
Recently we were asked to provide sign painting / cost-effective hand painted signage for this building’s somewhat challenging surface. Sign painters get used to this kind of thing! The slumpstone brick has variations in depth of 1-1/2″ or more in places, so the challenge was to make the graphics look printed onto the surface. Here are the results:
We recently were honored to be part of the team that brought the Anaheim Packing House project to life. These signs were modeled after period signage from the time when the building was first built in 1919, and given an aged appearance to enhance the visitor’s experience.
The building is part of a development in Anaheim, California, that repurposed this citrus packing plant and an adjacent (previous) Packard dealership along with a large park area into a restaurant and entertainment district.

Here are photos of our part of the project:
Finally, someone got a photo of the ol’ sign painter slingin’ paint…
Hand painted graphics – a great example of how painted graphics can provide uniquely impactful, cost-effective signage.
This little sign gives a fair understanding of what goes into a wall sign painting project. I took a couple of minutes to document the steps.
By the way, the client, Little Sparrow Cafe, is in Santa Ana, California.
First step: after finalizing a design, we typically create a paper pattern, perforating the lines that have been drawn out on paper with an electric pencil. This tool puts small holes in the paper that allow charcoal (or chalk, on a dark wall) to transfer the design onto the wall.
Custom colors are matched if necessary (here the circle-logo background was a custom color, the lettering black. Then, on site, we set up the ladders and transfer the paper design to the wall with charcoal. Ready to go!
Here you can see the logo background, which has already been brushed in with fast-drying paint. You can also see how the charcoal design remains, to be filled in with paint.
Now, the project is finished. This fine little restaurant gets the understated look they were looking for.
