At the other end of this very small rural town, yet another cut-out shape sign. This time ice-cream, unnecessarily labeled as such, apparently held against its will other bits of cut-out shapes. The drip is not convincing, but the cut-out format does not lend itself to realism.

One might make the claim that hand-painted food signs say something about the culture in which and for whom they exist. This sign doesn’t mean any harm. Nor does it want to spark any passions, cause a fuss, or risk being seen as interesting in any way. Cut-out shape signs are kind of like that.

I’ve been stalling on posting “cut-outs” because I find them lackluster and hard to get enthusiastic about them. But enough cut-out food signs have entered the archive that one feels obliged to give them due representation. Dull though they may be. They appear more in rural agricultural areas. At least that is the working theory; let’s see if it bears out. (photo by A. Sebrell)
