Welcome followers that I've migrated from my previous Ghostsigns account on mastodon.social. I'm now posting that stuff here, alongside my wider adventures in sign painting with @sam .
I won't be offended if you just want the ghost signs stuff and choose to unfollow me and/or follow the #Ghostsigns tag 😊
Pictured is the sign that started all this in the first place: Waterman's Ideal Fountain Pen / Walker Bros., Stoke Newington Church St., London N16.

I've added a comment to give a bit more context to the main sign so scroll to the end to see that.
Thank you @RoyReed for the tip-off.
