Traditional hand-painted wooden billboards and architectural exterior signage for Nimbus Kitchen in Redruth, Cornwall.

Nimbus Kitchen, Redruth:

The largest physical installation by Dollar Signs to date for chef duo Mark and David. This extensive identity features oversized wooden billboards paired with traditional reverse-glass lettering across the storefront. Utilising a classic mix of block and casual styles with a dropped block shadow, every element was hand-painted with signwriters' enamels, bypassing digital vinyl in favour of a permanent, human-made presence.

Cord Surfboards, St Agnes:

Back on the sable chisel writer brushes, bringing traditional layout theory to a historic surfboard factory. Partnering with Head Shaper Markie Lascelles, this commission features meticulous, small-scale block lettering painted directly onto a custom surfboard, leaning into a classic graphic design insider joke: deliberately making the logo bigger. Hand-painted with 1-Shot lettering enamels, the final shaping bay identity brings an enduring, permanent character to the local surf heritage landscape.

The Welloe,

A collaborative coastal restoration alongside fellow sign painter and good friend Ali (Hands For Feet Signs), battling 35% wall moisture and salty Cornish air. The fix required troubleshooting the substrate and road-testing A.S. Handover Ox hair brushes to conquer the rough render, precisely following a peer's original brushstrokes to preserve the hand-painted piece against the elements.
