Local sign painter keeps art form alive

Daniel Dye / The Herald

Steve Lee stands next to his car which he calls his fishing pole for attracting interest from potential clients.

Steve Lee, who feels his calling in life is to ‘wow’ people, considers himself part of a last generation of “old-school” artists. Lee said he does not rely on computer graphics to aid in creating signage and oversized images such as murals painted on the side of businesses.

Lee also considers himself fortunate for finding his calling at a very young age and with the help of an episode of “Sesame Street.”
