This has to be one of the great pieces of gyros art, a true labor of love. Seen in 2008 at Taqueria El Farolito, San Francisco.

Steve's Place. Chicago Avenue near Franklin. The kind of prosaic sign you used to see all over but now that they have mostly vanished, like this one, you can no longer take them for granted.

I revisited Chicago’s Royal Pawn Shop, once home to this sign, for an upcoming talk at the Society for Commercial Archeology’s Niagara Falls conference. The portraits are sadly gone. Visit sca_roadsides.org for info on the event.

Taken from a low angle, a picture of a mossy grave marker. This is the back of the stone, so no details, just a naively carved skull and crossbones. It’s a grey spring day, the grass is long and very green.
The back of a grave marker. It’s circular, and decorated with a naively carved skull and crossbones plus an hourglass and a coffin. The stone leans towards the viewer
A mossy dark stone grave marker with a naively carved skull and crossbones. The skull is more like a head than a skull. It leans towards the viewer
A rectangular grave marker leaning at a severe angle. The back of the stone is carved with a coffin, double hourglass, crossed bones etc.
We went to Killeevan today and saw loads of brilliant ‘mortality stones’ aka memento mori dating from the eighteenth century. It was damp. #graveyards #gravestones #vernacularart #folkart
