Jerry Johnson

© Sign painted and photo taken by Jerry Johnson

Frank Jump over in NYC has just posted a collection of ten outstanding images from the work of experience signwriter (or "wall dog" in USA) Jerry Johnson. Some of these are genuine pieces of advertising and some, like the one pictured, are spoofs. The craftsmanship, or 'art' (?), is exeptional and so is the photography. It must be really satisfying finishing off a piece of work and then stepping back to take the first photo.
