Retro Roadmap pal and photo-realist road painter Gordon Inyard shared with me this lovely painting he did of the Original New York System Weiner sign all lit up. Ain’t it pretty?
I thought it was nice of him to share it so I thought I’d repay the favor and share it all with you alls! It sure looks better than the photo I took on the drizzly day I was there.
If you like Gorgon’s painting, click on over to his website where you might recognize a diner, neon sign or tabletop tableau that looks familiar.
Thanks for sharing the love of all that is vintage and roadside, Gordon – and happy holidays to everyone!

I have known Gordon since 1993 or so, he does great work!
This is partially a painting? The neon only?
The whole danged thing is a painting! Isn’t it amazing? I love the light.
Now I can tell that the cars are painted, too. Amazing….. the reflection on the car at the front is just incredible!!!
I know, isn’t it beautiful?! If you like Retro Roadmap worthy photo realist painters, John Baeder is the diner master!
