Did you ever wonder…
… where all those signs come from?
When humankind finally lands on Mars, there will be a yellow sign in excitable script telling them where to park their shuttle craft. Nan’s iconic handwriting is at once celebrating your existence and yelling at you to do something RIGHT NOW!! You have no choice but to happily comply.
Nan is just like that…
Nan did ‘em!!
“Signmaker Nan Parati has mastered the space in which written information becomes art. Her signs, frequently associated with some of the most premier music festivals in the world- including the Newport Jazz Festival, the Newport Folk Festival, and New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival- are more than indicators of who is on a set performance stage. Her swirls, stars, and even her own copyrighted font, are often as reflective of an artist’s identity as their music itself.”
