Summer Vacation Project














Illustrations ©2016 Steve Duncan, Lake House Studio

Over last summer I took several weekend camping trips Up North, into upper Minnesota, Chicago and Illinois. Along the way I saw some amazing vintage neon signs for motels, bars, and other things. I took a lot of pictures and when I returned home I started a study in rendering the images photo realistically using Adobe Illustrator CS. I also found some images online which I have incorporated into the series. I started with the series with the Gain Belt sign, a historic landmark in downtown Minneapolis. Later I incorporated a few of the illustrations into my Carta Bella line Are We There Yet?
