new black studio/aarn: studio sign [misc]
I cut a sign for Stebs (Paper Fortress Films) and Alicia at New Black Studio. New Black Studio is the photo studio here at Fringe that they have been revamping and outfitting for rental use, as well as for internal projects. They have a lot of gear that is available for rental (strobes, rigging, etc.) and the studio is looking pretty good. I am not a sign-maker, this was just a favor for some pals.
They dropped off a print of what they wanted on my desk with some rough dimensions. I cut the sign out of 0.050” aluminum sheet with my CNC router, then attached it to spacers and taped that to the wall. One day later the whole sign had fallen down. So I used some tapcons and attached some plexi to the wall and then glued the spacers to that. I wasn’t happy with how the plexi looked against the wall, so I came back with a hammer and roughed it up a bit to give it that hot shattered glass look. And…I’m just realizing as I write this that I hung the “A” backwards…another reason why I should not make signs.
I took some pictures of the sign when I got it up the second time. Hopefully it will stay put.
Stebs gives me the thumbs up while he holds the flash for my photo.
