10 hours agoThe new life of hand-painted signs in Mexico
Sign painting in Mexico City has surged in popularity following the removal of street signs, leading to increased interest and new opportunities for artists.
If you're based in London, you've probably walked past one of Sean Thomas' meticulously hand-painted designs. Whether that was grabbing a sandwich at Dom's Subs, dining in at Forza Win (an Italian restaurant in Peckham that the designer has shaped the visual identity of over the last three years), or picking up a copy of Hoxton Mini Press' new book on Britain's best bakeries at your local bookshop.
