That is why I am sharing this book with you today. I bought it years ago, while studying “media” and “distressed surfaces” during my City & Guilds days. I found “Entrez” at a Barnes & Noble in Washington State and felt compelled to pick it up. Not only did it feature a variety of signs, I was particularly interested in the images of distressed surfaces. I can’t get enough of the inspiring images…
Here are a few to inspire:
“Entrez – Signs of France”,photographs by Steven Rothfeld, Text by Andre Aciman. Artisan Publishing, New York, 2001.
ISBN 781-579-651701
Why not take your camera or smart phone for a walk through your town and gather some visual information? These images make great starting point for painted and dyed fabrics. Have a great weekend, everyone!
I will look at old painted buildings in a new way now Anna.
