Mystic Blue Signs

Mystic Blue Signs Sign Shop and Art Gallery New Orleans has such inspiring architecture and history that it's a natural location for a hand-painted sign shop.

Mystic Blue Signs opened our shop on Magazine Street in 1996, but we have been specializing in hand lettering and illustration since 1973. We use traditional methods and materials and we draw everything by hand, from logos to lettering to illustration. We hand-cut, hand-carve, hand-paint. We use wood, metal, special sign paint and sign painters' quills, flats and fitches. We use real 23 karat gold

leaf sheets on signs and glass transom numbers. We even paint scenes and signs on the sides of buildings. And we ship signs all over the world. For the last ten years, Mystic Blue has hosted regular art shows in our gallery, featuring local artists. We sell prints, paintings, posters, signs, stained-glass, jewelry and objets d'art made by our artists.

Eve proposed the exercise of juxtaposing rhythmic writing with a contrasting gestural element, then we tried writing a single word concentrating on gestural potential within it.

5” x 36” interior handpainted signs for a residential complex. Background colors were specified by the client. Some of the quick lettering and illustration jobs, using simplified letterforms and decoration, lean on the characteristics of One Shot lettering enamel: great color saturation and opacity.
