Who makes the signs at Honest Ed's?

For the cover design of this week's issue, we asked Honest Ed's sign painter Wayne Reuben to lend us a bit of the store's iconic, eye-catching visual pizzaz.
Once he finished our designs, we talked to him about the store's long tradition of hand-painted signs.

    it's going to be sad to see honest ed's demolished. as a graphic designer, i have always appreciated that the store kept traditional methods like this alive.

    Great to see the man behind the scenes. However, I found the music really distracting and tacky (more so when I saw the ad for it tacked on the end). I didn't realise I was watching a commercial for some crappy song.

    i used to do a lot of paper banner signs for a local company called the cruise company. the owner would have me do a couple of banners a month and he liked when i came up with a cartoon to go along with the ad. i used 1 shot poster paint.

    I never got to do grocery style signs like those. I just got into the business a bit too late.

    I feel like I just viewed a video on Michelangelo. (It's a Toronto thing.)

    the music is so loud in the background it's hard to focus on what he's saying. that's unfortunate.

    Great - could do without the music. Not a good fit.

    Ruined by the music, alas! And too short.
