Took a drive this week out to Hastings, ND (population: 62) to paint the historic Hotel Hastings! It was built in 1908 and has spent the last decade undergoing some extensive restoration thanks to the Pieper family.

From our best guess, the sign was painted shorty after it opened. By 1914 (the only picture we have) they had cut a new window through the sign! Working off the picture we drew the lettering as close as we could to the original, and bumped it down to avoid the β€œnew” window. The siding is the original 100+ year old cedar planks.

Love doing this type of work! Some interesting history and a small piece of the state not many get to see.

Just finished up at the new Mill apartments in South Fargo!

We were given the letter style and colors, and then tweaked it to fit within the allotted space. Love to see new construction that incorporates some classic painted signage. ✨

Meg’s artwork and the VFW are a perfect match. We are excited to be a part of this project helping facilitate the installation of the artwork. It’s exciting to see the daily progress being made and the mural come to life! Come by, say hi, take pictures and make sure to come to and support the burger feed at the VFW Tuesday, June 16, 4-7pm

Here's a sign we had the pleasure of repainting on a perfect spring day this week. 🌞 Thanks for looking!
