July 4th: Witness the Avenging Fathers by Jesse Draper

What’s more rad: that Jesse Draper created this Super Signage at Trader Joes or that Trader Joes still employs artists for signs and hand lettering?!

KYEO: SF Litterbug Sign Remixed as Puker

It’s one thing to Sharpie something on a sign. But to jump up and slap on a googly eye takes a certain craftiness that, frankly, impresses the hell out of me.

UPDATE: See more on Personifeyed (Thanks, Mike)

Spotted on SF’s Embarcadero at Pier 29 1/2 [see more KYEO]

WTF: One-Legged Women’s Restroom Sign

I figured it out. This isn’t a sign for two separate restrooms. It’s for one, all-urinal bathroom. You know. So she can just lean on the thing. No? Is this thing on? Either way, I bet inside they have a sign like this.

My sister spotted this on a train in Skagway, AK. (Thanks, Pammy!)

Bar Closed: Due to Irene, Jesus

Bars and businesses were expecting the wrath of God but got rained out instead.

Designer and Whiskerino artist extraordinaire Tim McSweeney sent us this closed sign from Brooklyn. No it doesn’t match the creativity of the Best Wet Paint Sign in NYC or the randomness of the No Tweekers Sign, it does, however, get the point across. New Yorkers were not impressed with the storm.

KYEO: Best Wet Paint Sign in NYC

Spotted on the NYC subway platform last night. No, we certainly Aint T-Pain. But let’s not rule out Tear Pain.

Scantless: No Tweekers Sign

Spotted while driving through Mendocino.

Tweekers and Bag Hos I’m clear on, but what the hell are scantless fish?

I turned to the trusty internets for a definition, expecting one result to come from Urban Dictionary, instead I got this urban Deep-Thoughts-on-crack discussion:

“Y is it femalez are so damn scantless?” See the rest »

FYI: Shit You Can’t Flush on Southwest Airlines

Don’t even think about flushin’ your origami stealth bomber, fool.

BONUS:

And if you’re heading into the LA Ogilvy office, don’t f-ing levitate above your f-ing motorcycle. David hates that.

Sign Remix: Dog Poop vs. Children At Play

Because the “Slow, Children At Play” sign near the park doesn’t cover dog poop, Wardinger took matters into his own hands and made this sign.

Not quite Passive Aggressive Notes material, but good stuff nonetheless. Check it out.
