Billboards, business logos, street signs, window lettering; If you drive down any Main Street you’re surrounded by signs. But how did they get there? And who makes them? Even as recently as the 1980’s, most were produced by hand, with paint and brush by commercial artists whose full-time job it was to paint signs. Today the human hand is less evident in signs - which are usually cut from sticky vinyl and designed with computer software. But old-school sign painters are still out there – like Greg Vaughan who lives and works in Brewster. His work can be seen all over: outside of law offices and tattoo parlors, on the sides of boats, motorcycles, and landscaping trailers. You can find more about Greg here
