Meet Earl Phillips: Cleveland's Greatest Living Sign Painter

Better Letters -

Recently Michael Bierut shared John Skrtic's photo (above), stating that: "This is probably my favourite piece of environmental graphic design in the world"—high praise from someone who has seen, and created, a lot of award-winning graphic design.

The man in the picture is Earl Phillips, now retired, but formerly the proprietor of U-Need-A-Sign Co. at 3838 131st Street, Cleveland, Ohio.
