Liquor and Lottery

I got hooked after the last one.

This particular sign happened to have some broken neon, which was interesting to draw. I am now on the lookout for my next sign, although the parking on the street and drawing it part is a little tricky with two kids in the back seat. For the bulk of this drawing, they had fallen asleep in the back. While they snoozed, I sat in the front, drawing and listening to the radio. It was a perfect way to spend a rainy afternoon.

I tip my virtual hat to you for drawing this on the spot with children in tow! Signs are so much fun, such a rich variety of shapes, color and lettering. Thanks for sharing this one.

Great drawing, I like the background texture.

Excellent. I love these drawings. I love these signs. They're so iconically American. They'd just look wrong over here.
