Ahhh, back when my hair was dark! This sign was done while I worked for Steve Hosmer (circa 1986?). He had owned Stokes Signs of Santa Cruz just a few years at that point, and we had had a good-natured contest to see who could paint a better sign. Very subjective "judging" -we each thought our own sign was the better of the two! The plywood sign employs a combination of vinyl graphics and hand-painted characters & dingbats from Atkinson's 1900s book of sign painting.
