Cuban Café, Cuba, New Mexico. An early-1960s #AtomicAge roadside sign. This "Googie" style has been disappearing throughout the southwest as neon and hand-built steel give way to LED boxes, earwax-colored boxes and corporate fonts. I started this in Fresco and finished it in #watercolor and Copic markers, and it is the first in a new series for the Desert Southwest section of Notes from the Road, hoping to share the passion to preserve.
