Get Ping'ed

New York's Chinatown is brimming with neon signs that showcase nostalgic type reminiscent of make-up brand lettering from the 1940s. These beautiful pieces contribute to the neighborhood's restless energy and accidental artful scene. This stunner announcing Ping Seafood Restaurant looks especially illuminating when set against an onyx canvas. I love the contrast in colors of the vertical strip that sprouts from its horizontal counterpart. The colors are vibrant, but welcoming and the cursive script so basic yet fashionable. The only missing element is a 1940s pin-up girl standing beneath all this shocking brightness powdering her nose with a Max Factor compact.
