This wildly expressive sign advertises a nursery tucked between a metal shop and an auto mechanic in Seattle's Ballard neighborhood. Anarchy, flower-power, deeply retro color, it all works as an organic whole. I especially like the little roots coming off the bottom of the stems.

This came to me from Jeff Lacoste of Design Heavy. Check out his exquisite letterpressed label for Coeur Cellars — a great use of Copperplate with original watercolor.
