“I’ve done several EPS foam monuments like these,” says Mark. “They’re easy to do and they look great. I get them from Custom Foam Fabricators. They have quite a few standard models, and you can customize them, too. They did the faux stone base on the Flex-Chem sign...”
“Hope Church already had a brick base, so I mounted the sign on that.”
A few examples of Mark’s fine art in the InArt Gallery in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

If you were getting SignCraft thirty years ago, your January/February 1988 issue would have included an article on a young Oklahoman with a busy commercial sign shop. Since then, Mark’s signs and pinstriping have appeared in SignCraft many times. Along with signs, he has also built a reputation for his fine art. He recently finished building a new shop and is busy doing both signs and art.

Mixing fine art and signs: Signs and fine art have always worked well together for me. Right now I’m back to doing more sign work again. I never really quit, but I did slow down quite a bit when I was doing more artwork. The sign shop got put on the back burner but I was still doing logos and a few trucks and signs.
