Chicago is a gigantic open-air museum of hand painted signs and murals where you can still find gold leaf lettering in shop windows and ghost signs litter the city’s brick walls. This handmade sign is on the wall of a Mexican garage near my apartment.
Address
Mexican Mechanic’s Mural, 6817 North Clark Street, Chicago, Chicago, United States

My name is Romain, I am a graphic designer from Paris. I currently live in Chicago, USA. I am interested in things like people’s behaviour and what conditions it. Especially how social structures manage to influence people’s ideas and understandings of the world around them to the point that we believe our behaviour is natural and forget that it is cultural and time based.
