It's hard not to appreciate sign painting when your entire city is covered with murals, signs, and other artistic letterings. I don't know if you've ever seen his work around, but Portuguese artist <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigo_23" rel="nofollow">Rigo 23</a> does these great signs on the sides of buildings that are not only beautiful examples of sign painting themselves, but call contextual attention to the details in the urban landscape we often forget to notice.
