What a honor to place gold leaf on this original door from the Farmers and Merchants Bank building on the office of Park & Stone. Thanks to @fabian.rubal for the trust and appreciation of old school quality and authenticity. The 23K gold leaf water gilded on this ribbed glass door has such a great effect! Always looking to do more gold leaf here in the city- so if you’re interested, reach out and let’s gild! #NatIosbakerSigns #LongBeach #Goldleaf #Signpainting @giustomanetti (at Farmers and Merchants of Long Beach) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cfj654bvDxY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Thanks to @ohhdaveyyy for the support and picking up this Happy Bear gilded sign. 12K white gold border and 23K lettering and character with a monochromatic blend in grey. The black and red come from vintage cans of enamel paint and I like the experimental texture on the black border with the oil gild behind it. I wonder if Jerry Garcia got work on his car from Chet’s Auto. #GratefulDead #LongBeach #NatIosbakerSigns #Signpainting #goldleaf #watergilding (at Chet's Auto Sale & Service) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce3-1UfJU67/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

[EARTH] Hand drafted and painted on aluminum panel with enamel paint; As I write that out, realizing maybe that’s all bad for the Earth… Happy belated #EarthDay #NatIosbakerSigns https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc8C-jUrlX1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Tongue’s out filling in these hand painted letters on @seventh.and.grand here in Long Beach. Transom address and main window sign look great together and bring so much character to the shop front. Thanks again @lauralottie!

Completed this 16” x 20” glass piece in the past month. A ton of techniques and experiments in this one which inevitably makes me excited about the next piece to explore with more. Designed by my teacher @sinerlts and screen printed together before the end of last semester. I used @giustomanetti 23K deep gold, 23K red gold, & 12K white gold along with variegated copper leaf, abalone/ mother of pearl, mica powder, and enamel. #NatIosbakerSigns (at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbVs3jFv_g2/?utm_medium=tumblr

@Maridaonfourth was an incredible place to paint signs for this week. We originally met and I painted signs years ago in their location next door. To see Marida’s shop grow and flourish is an amazing thing. Existing designs provided by Marida were updated in this water gilded 23K XX Deep Gold from @giustomanetti. #lunarnewyear #goldleaf #NatIosbakerSigns #LongBeach (at Marida Jewelry) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZe4A7TpcjX/?utm_medium=tumblr

What a great way to start the year with a full gold window @ddparlour. For these windows, I used 23K @giustomanetti XX gold leaf and 12K white gold leaf- with a combination of water gilding (mirror finish) and oil gilding (matte finish). I’m very excited about showing the city more possibilities when it comes to genuine gold leaf signs. It’s a precious thing, but well worth the effort. #NatIosbakerSigns #LongBeach (at Dappers & Dames Parlour) https://www.instagram.com/natiosbaker/p/CYrs-MIlBxK/?utm_medium=tumblr
