Have just edited post above to say there are now less than 10 new copies of Ghost Signs: A London Story left in my shop.
Info, links, etc at https://ghostsigns.co.uk/book.
Thank you to everyone that has bought a copy, and to all those that made this dream come true for me.
Love the font and the craquelure on this sign painted by one of the doors on the former Our Lady and St Margaret's Primary School in Kinning Park in Glasgow
Creative, pissed off people.
And some amazing political cartoons.

"Yesterday was inspirational. I had to gather my favorite protest signs because wow… Americans are damned creative, and not happy!
Here are a few of my favorites."
More protest photos from Joyce Vance's write up of the international #HandsOff protest.

"All across the country, people got out and protested today. Big rallies and small ones. In some places, people lined city streets and waved at passing cars. Elsewhere, people gathered in parks or in front of state office buildings.
Birmingham, Alabama, was one of those cities...
Some of my favorite signs"

'Researchers at Trinity College Dublin are calling on the public to help them track down the capital's old street signs to document them before they disappear.
The bilingual green and white signs, which feature the old Irish font Cló Gaelach, date back to the turn of the 20th century and are believed to have been introduced to Dublin as a subtle form of protest against British rule at the time.'

'Ye Olde Sign Shoppe at the American Sign Museum' is the latest at bl.ag online, where I get to indulge my fetish for photos of old sign painting shops and related tangents.

Pictured are the dapper fellows that once plied their trade at the Raiford Sign Co. in Houston, Texas.
Plain weaves and twill weaves are accepted, though.
Proofreading: It matters!
Very good piece here by Meg Farmer about the Hollywood sign:
