restaurant sign Archives - Purple Rosemary

Signs are a definite favorite with myself and other photographers. Some are vintage, retro, or just retro looking. Billboards, neon, painted on buildings, I don’t know why we are drawn to them. Perhaps it’s that they seem to be art in their own right, created to draw people in. Even the most simple sign can garner attention and make us stop to stare. Some signs have the name of a business and some are warnings for what lies ahead. You’ll find a little bit of everything in this sign gallery.

To purchase any of these please visit my gallery.

This week’s gallery is all food related items. Bar and restaurant signs are always so interesting. Sometimes, they are vintage and antique with a little wear and age. Sometimes they are just interesting. The farmer’s market is always a favorite. I find myself torn between cooking the produce I find or just using it for art. Once in awhile, I do both. So eat it or art it, that is the question of the week. To purchase any of these or other food art, click here.
