Recent work: Birdwell Beach Britches event vehicle
Sign painting skills got Big City Signs onto the radar of this Orange County, CA, based surf and beach wear company. They have been around since the 1960’s providing great products for their loyal customers.
The 60’s was the look and feel they chose, logically, for their event vehicle. It started out life as a delivery truck, but was purchased recently as a great way to get their name, products, and samples out to beachside events.
