Faux Antique Portrait Signs

I really enjoy making old fashioned signs.
These are some I've made in the past.
I love to incorporate portraits into my faux antique signs.
Since Rochester, New York's history is so rich with
interesting people, I'd love to do a series of Rochester
icons and hang them in public buildings around town. 
Both Susan B. Anthony and Frederick Douglass
lived and died in Rochester, NY.
 
Frederick Douglass was a member of the
New York Anti-Slavery Society and the
Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society.
I made this sign when I lived in Massachusetts.
I have some ideas for my next vintage style signs.....
I'll keep you posted.
