I recently completed a custom neon sign for ZZ TOP'S Billy Gibbons.
It is a replica of an actual sign that is here in Austin,a place called The Horseshoe Lounge.
It has all of the signature details of a Roadhouse Relics piece. Custom made,hand painted and weathered.
The coolest part is, it is made in miniature(see the pencil?)
The Summer has been a busy time. I've had a lot of fun projects lately.
I sent a custom neon sign reading 'EAT' to DIY network's new show,
Garage Mahal featuring Guy Fieri from diners drive ins and dives.
Man Vs. Food T.V. show also rented 3 pieces of neon art for their upcoming season.
Did you know that Roadhouse Relics is available as a photo shoot location?
Many folks love using the neon boneyard behind the gallery as a backdrop for wedding photos, music videos, etc.
The Avett Brothers were here during SXSW to be included in their Paste Magazine spread(photos by Jeff Fasano).
Anthropologie also chose Roadhouse Relics as a photo location for their June '09 catalog.
Mercury Charlie brought his own incredible work of art,Sweet Nadine, a 1951 Mercury that has been radically customized and took some amazing pic's among the delicious red Austin Neon sign.
Other recent projects
I custom made a Big Tex Cowboy,reminiscent of the one in the Dallas State Fair for a loft owned by Alex Gillespie and Sue Bornstein.
Shepard Fairey's OBEY Clothing is also a proud new owner of my neon pieces.
Keep a look out in October for a LG phone magazine ad, featuring a custom designed/ fabricated neon Theater marquee reading GRAND ROYALE.
I'm looking forward to many more great clients and exciting projects in the upcoming Months.
