This is from the cover of a 1971 trade magazine.
My dad was this kind of sign maker. I ran around the playground during the 1972 convention yelling, "Well, my dad made the world's largest Spiro Agnew watch, so burn!"

Nice work. What happened to the sign?
Re: Signs Of The Times (Literally)
That's a great question. It was somewhere in Southern California, but I think it met its demise. Lileks probably has it in his garage waiting for a big enough scanner.

Do you have photos of some of his other works?
A Picassa Slideshow or something like it might be a fun thing to post.

Manly men from days of yore had no need for portfolios.

It seems a shame. It is interesting how much art there was in the Ephemera of advertising. Like Jingles.

The "Astro Star w/ Single Bubble." Modeled by my sister Mariana. Circa 1970.
And some end up in the background on TV shows.
