When Dan Mainzer called me for his new business in town I was eating my tuna on a mediterranean sauce: olives, capers and tomato sauce as my grandmother's recipe. He asked me to reproduce his new logo, made by Zacc Pollitt, on a rounded wooden board to be hung on the front of his new fish and seafood store. 3 weeks of detailed wood carving and painting process gave to Nosara the sign for this new fish sale shop. So I called my mom to ask her other grandma's recipes.

I met Janice Camp for the first time in the water and we kept talk about signs between wave and wave for more then a year. The big trunk came in my mind after different proposals and ideas and the result now is total amazing. For the Nomadic Hotel I also realized different small signs, one of that are 10 lasered double side door sign for the cleaning room service. Work with laser is incredible for results with details. 
The big trunk weights 400Kg and only with a scraper we were able to move it over the wood feet posed and linked on 2 armed concrete bases.
"Simple" and total effect.

Heart and passion for mountainbike and surf bring Ricardo Moraga to open this little but powerfull shop in the north of Playa Guiones. He asked me to give to the shop more visibility and create signs to better advertise his business on the road. I worked on a front shop carved and painted wood sign reproducing the deteiled logo and on a metal structure to support 4 small double sided carved and painted wood signs with all the business info. In this project colors were the goal. If you see around a cyclist muddied is probably Ricardo!

When I first look at this 10 years old wood signs I was excited to start thinking how I could make them bright and beautiful as years ago. This was my real restore of wood signs. Pieces was missing, paint was with bubbles and wood was crack in different point. Replace the wood, sanding, recarving and repaint was an incredible success. Now every time I pass by Big Wave Daves I turn my eyes to check if the sign is still beauty as 10 years ago.

When Michelle Berk and Mike Tailor asked me to give relevance to their new place in Playa Guiones I wanted to work on the idea of the logo starting from the concept of the movie The Endless Summer. Silhouette of the kids in front of the sun and a 70's script with yellow and orange colors was the solution. Wood signs took shape in two different proportions, square and rectangular. We also build a beautiful A-frame chalkboard with two mini wood signs on top to announce daily specials of the delicatessen. Super details and a lot of love for this amazing project.
