Throwback Thursday

[Billct2]

This was a first year student project I did while at Butera Sign School in 1974
Woodstock refers to the town in CT where I had lived before going to Boston.
Done with poster paints on card stock

Nice!

Butera Art School was featured in the Sign Painters documentary I posted about recently: https://www.signs101.com/threads/sign-painter-the-movie-panel-discussion.110344/page-2
I looked them up and it looks like they closed several years ago.

Not much. Mostly for gold leaf work.

They were absorbed by a junior college and then disappeared. They had a two year sign programs and a 2 year illustration program. It was in an old brownstone near the Public Gardens. One floor for each year
