I am currently in Las Vegas at the International Sign Association EXPO for the 2017 Sign Invitational contest. It was setup day today. The entries are once again varied and exceptional this year. The theme is magic. I'll be posting some pictures tomorrow. This evening we gathered and inevitably the talk was about what was next, specifically the theme for next year's challenge. After much discussion the theme of 'MACHINE' was settled on. The build envelope remains the same - two feet by two feet and six feet tall. There's lots of room for creativity in that space. My brain is already racing with lots of ideas and I'll be sharing some of them here in coming days. To all of my creative friends... the CHALLENGE is on for 2018.
