Sign Design and My Inner Child

This is a sign I designed for my dad, who wanted an enamel sign to honor his grandparents who had farm in Wyoming, raising sheep and growing beans and sugar beets. Multiple signs were printed, most were given away to my aunts and uncles as Christmas gifts, and I received mine just a few days ago. The whole thing was done in Adobe Illustrator and the signs were printed by the good people at Ramsign. They turned out great and my family has been overwhelmingly positive about the end product. Thanks Ramsign, and thank you, Dad!   

In other news, I bought a 64-count box of Crayola crayons on a whim and I've colored a few sketches with them. The iguanodon pictured above is one of them. So why the crayons? I figured they would help me approach my sketchbooks as a space to play and what's a better way than to be a kid again?
