Featured on the HBO movie The Wizard of Lies

Last night while watching the HBO movie featuring Robert DiNiro and Michelle Pfeiffer I was pleasantly surprised to see and old friend, a sign I made for the U.S. Federal Building at 26 Federal Plaza in NYC over 25 years ago. Back then the Federal Government was my biggest client and I made a lot of signs for this building. Its great to see they are still at work helping people get where they need to go!

20 Years ago I had a similar surprise when I turned on MTV in 1996 and saw Eric Clapton sitting in front of one of my signs in Hoboken Station for the music video for his song "Change the World " that was featured in the movie Phenomenon starring John Travolta. Its a big blurry, but it sure gave me a hell of a thrill at the time!

Brookside Fire Sign Wins 2nd Place in International Competition!

It couldn't happen to a more deserving sign or customer. The firemen at Brookside were so supportive throughout the design for this beautiful custom carved sign. They listened to all of our recommendations and when the estimate for the full package was more than their original budget, they found the funds to cover the difference because they believed that this sign was worth making right with no corners cut. The custom carved sign is now a landmark of this quaint historic community. Thank you to all the firemen that had faith in our vision and the committment to follow through. Happy 100 to the Brookside Vounteer Engine Company #1!

Thanks to Signs of the Times Magazine, a world leader in Sign Education since 1906 for sponsoring this annualinternationally renowned competition!
