Semper Fi - Pie In The Sky

Good Gracious- I'm proud to be an American!
It's the land of freedom and prosperity.
A place where one can forge off on one's own and make a living doing such fun things (like this project) and get actually get paid for it.
Our local Marines recruiting office was recently remodeled by a friend of mine. He also owns the building in which the office is located. I was honored that he thought of me to help him to fulfill the requirements of his tenants- The US Marines!
I must admit, it was a bit of a challenge to acquire the proper paint colors necessary. All I was provided was a PMS color number, which is mainly for inks. Fortunately I had an insider at a local print house who had the PSM color chip book. I was able to borrow it for a few hours so my local Sherwin-Williams could electronically reproduce the two colors. Problem solved. Oddly, the "silver" and "gold" were very similar. Not for me to judge though. I just do what I'm asked to do as well as I can, and I feel satisfied with the outcome- and most importantly- so was the customer!

All in the family


 This project was fun and interesting due to the level of planning and personal association.
The signs were commitioned by my aunt and uncle to represent the family homestead.
I was proud to be considered for this project. They certanly finish the entrance off nicely.
