Black Bottom Social Club

5706 Chene Street. Detroit, MI. 48211

This was actually the first sign the Black Bottom crew had hired me to do (this was actually the first sign I had ever painted!), but it took a little while to get a photograph to post.

The Black Bottom Social Club is a private club that hosts a wide array of parties and events, from barbecues to wild bachelor parties, movie nights and even a blues night. They have DJ's and live bands come play, and they sell food during the day. They have three bars, a dance floor and a pool table. Always a great time at the Black Bottom Social Club.

I'm still pleased with the sign. It's about 16 feet long (shorter) by approximately 3 feet...I forget now... but I needed to get together an image spread over two pieces of plywood. Fun stuff. The installation was interesting. (Thanks Blake and Drew! Always a big help...)

Black Bottom Cuts Barber Shop

3619-21 Chene Street, Detroit MI, 48207


I am particularly proud of this job. This is the second job I did for the Black Bottom. The barber shop. This time I could paint directly on the building, so I got a hold of some scaffolding and 1-shot and began painting- using a projector sitting on top of a pickup, attached to an extension cord running through the back door, until fairly late at night. KT helped me out quite a bit with the painting, and I'm pretty sure Blake came by with beers and watched. Another fun experience.
