Formerly Sam's
2019
oil on canvas
16" x 20"

This sign belongs to a derelict tiki-themed building in Surfside (Huntington Beach) that fascinates me every time I drive by. Most recently it was a Don the Beachcomber, but for many years before it was called Sam’s Seafood. This sign has obviously seen many decades, and, to me, is absolutely overflowing with character. I hope it never goes away.


UPDATE: The sign has gone away.


Great article about the history of the property: https://ocweekly.com/revisiting-the-legacy-of-sams-seafood-seal-beachs-original-polynesian-palace-2/
