I'm drawn to old signs and outdoor wall murals. They are expressons of art – even with coats of rust or dirt. Letter fonts also get my attenton for obvious reasons – I was a page designer at The Seattle Times for 24 years. I used different headline fonts to dress up centerpiece stories on our cover. I'm also drawn to expressions of art like the 9-11 memorial in the small town of Arlington north of Seattle. (image below). I love the old theater sign in Lind, a sleepy wheat farming community in eastern Washington. The Empire opened in 1950 and closed in 1980. The motel sign is in Everett, Wash. The creepy motel apppeared in the TV series remake of The Fugitive in 2000. All that's left is the old rusty sign.
