Roadside Tank Tops

This design is paying a little respect to some of the strange places we grew up around. This is a real place, with a really weird story. Pick up one of these to rep your home base or just as a way of letting people know you dig nostalgic roadside attractions.

Like antiques? From weathervanes to antique model trains, this shop seems to have it all. I discovered this antique shop in Quebec during a road trip. I was traveling through several small farming communities along the south shore of the St Lawrence River when I found this. It was full of antique metal art and porcelain sale signs. This included old petrol signs popular with collectors of garage art. Of course, I couldn't pass this scene up to make a collection of photos. What's your favourite sign from yesteryear in this collection? Would this look good as wall art for your office or home décor? Support my art. Add this to your favourites and share with your friends. Thanks for visiting my gallery.

If you've traveled down the I40 through Amarillo you've probably seen the signs for The big Texan Steak Ranch. I wish more places had quirky signs like it, that and giant steaks to eat.

His culinary reputation is perhaps a bit inflated, although he does work light.

The 1940s and 50s venue on Flatbush Ave and Ave V in Brooklyn, which became the Town & Country Club in the 60s! This design was recreated from a vintage matchbook.

A secular pilgrimage long dreamed of and finally arrived, a place of wonder, of longing fulfilled and reawakened too. It felt so vast, that I could travel for days, weeks even and never reach the end. My own American dream was formed by 1970s dramas, films, books and fantasies, a land of palm trees and long streets, of huge cities where I could lose myself in a maze of teeming neighbourhoods of promise. Having arrived, finally, jet lagged and redolent of long haul travel, I set out to explore this promised land. I fell in love with the signage, tatty, dated, a reminder of my own 1970s American dream. This work is rich in bright colour, youthful and joyful, with close attention to detail. A great gift, a wonderful collection starter.

The Florida Everglades is the only place on earth where alligators and crocodiles live together and the Everglades town of Ochopee, Florida is the only place where you can meet Big Pete, a record setting 1,200 pound American Crocodile. All you have to do is header to Tater's Gators on US 41, and while it may look like a cheesy roadside attraction, behind the mobile home office and weather sign you'll find a 35 acre gator zoo that allows visitors to get up close with these magnificent beasts in their natural habitat.

Travel to this imaginary theme park: Pop America. Themed to American roadside attractions and kitschy architecture, Pop America is a tribute to Route 66 and bygone days.

I like sticking my head out into oncoming traffic and feeling the breeze.

Artist illustration of a watercolor I painted captures the vibrant colors and whimsical charm of the Gemini Giant muffler man towering over the iconic Route 66 in Wilmington, Illinois. The classic Americana roadside attraction is brought to life with delicate brush strokes and a playful sense of nostalgia.

Artist illustration of a watercolor I painted captures the iconic Muffler man statue towering above Route 66 in Gallup, New Mexico. With its towering metallic frame and wide stance, the statue stands tall against the open, sweeping landscape. In the watercolor, the dusty earth tones of the desert landscape and the vivid blue of the sky perfectly complement the vibrant red and yellow colors of the statue, bringing the scene to life. It's a snapshot of the quintessential American west, frozen in time on paper.

he Original House of Pies is an American restaurant chain, started c. 1969 by Al Lapin Jr., an early franchise system designer and founder of International Industries Inc. who was also responsible for International House of Pancakes, Copper Penny Coffee Shops, Orange Julius, and others. Specializing in many different flavors of pie available for dessert, the chain was popular up through 1976 when it was sold to Robert Herndon, who eventually downsized the chain's locations. By c. 1986 the franchise chain filed for bankruptcy and closed most of its locations.
