About This Image

I was in High School the first time I saw the beautiful Fox Theatre sign over Peacthree Street in Atlanta. I didn’t live particularly near Atlanta but we had gone on a winter field trip to see Cats. Sometimes it seems like yesterday instead of well, I’ll keep that to myself thank you! Ha!

But as someone who loved old things from an early age, the vintage beauty of the Atlanta Fox Theatre sign made a lasting impression on me. I loved the vivd eye-catching red and the yesteryear styling. It was a fun first introduction to the Fox Theatre for sure. For anyone who has visited that Atlanta icon, the sign is just the tip of the iceberg in a captivating piece of late 1920’s movie palace architecture. The Fox might be a little over the top even for a building that was meant to be theatrical!

I didn’t know the full history of the Fox Theatre on that long ago day. I had no idea that in the 1970’s the Fox was slated to be demolished to make way for office buildings. Imagine that the Fox Theatre Sign looming ahead could have been nothing but a memory for older citizens of Atlanta. Luckily the near destruction of the Fabulous Fox was a wake-up call for preservationists in Atlanta to save a little of the old in what is unquestionably a modern American city.

Instead Atlanta’s Fox Theatre went on to have a second life as a cultural hub in the city. It’s a place where people flock for special summer showings of movies as well as musicals and more. How many special memories have been made in the old theatre that stands behind the Fox Theatre sign in Atlanta?

Do you have your own special memories of the Fox? Maybe you and someone you love have a special place in your story for tor the Fox? Or maybe you want a reminder of a great show you saw there? I hope you will pause for a moment and let me know what attracted you to my Atlanta art in general and this Fox Theatre sign print in particular!

How Can I Help?

At the end of the day, it’s important to me that you can put a face with the art you’re considering purchasing through my site. Aside from the print vendor who ultimately prints and ships your order, this is a one man show. The person who made the art is the same one who is typing this message and the one who will answer your questions if you drop me a note.

You are not a number and I care that you are happy with whatever art you might buy here. I’m here if you’d like to ask questions before or after purchasing. And I’m also happy to work with you where possible to customize the work you’re buying. Maybe you’d like a tweak to the shape of a print to fit in with your existing wall art. Or you’d like to add a little nod to someone special in it? Just ask! I also keep a running list of subjects I don’t currently have but people are seeking. So if you enjoy the style of my work but didn’t find quite what you were looking for, please do let me know.

I’ve been an artist for 15 years now and most of that time it’s been my full-time passion. And it matters to both the endorphins in my brain and the food I put on the table for me (and my cats) that you find the experience of purchasing the products offered here to be a pleasure.
