I started to write about this project last fall shortly after it was completed, with trompe l'oeil brick and wallpaper paint treatments on new drywall to complement exposed, sandblasted brick of original building.
Because Lucky D's closed for business just a few months later, I didn't go on, but today I had an inquiry about doing weathered signage on original brick, so I'm posting up a few pictures of the rest of this commercial/hospitality painting project.
Once Dave had decided to go with the local sports theme, we thought up doing the original San Diego team logos on the brick wall behind the pool table. In addition to being the original logos from the 60's (part of Dave's theme at the time), I painted them in an aged or weathered fashion to look as if Dave had uncovered them from 30 years ago in the remodel.

The trompe l'oeil/faux aspects of this paint treatment worked out pretty well in context of the overall "age" of the bar. I will put up some more contextual photos later, but here's a couple of detail shots for now.
