Handpainted Signage

I came across these really kool photos of hand painted store signs from West Africa. I love the typography and also the portraiture along with the bold colors. These are so fun to look at and inspiring. As with most places on the globe, hand drawn works are slowly methodically going the way of the computer and desktop publishing. I myself often feel conflicted between my computer graphic design work and traditional tactile fine arts. I guess there's room in life for both and its a fine balance to maintain.
