La 421 signage

Juan Picazo 

I made this in 1985 or 1986.


Back then there was a summer program called the "PIC Program". This program, I believe, worked with B.I.S.D. to get summer jobs for teenagers in Brownsville.


They would have a meeting at Jacob Brown Auditorium (El Civic Center) and it would get PACKED. After registering, students were sent to local participating businesses for interviews.


I ended up working at the City of Brownsville Traffic Dept. which takes me back to this picture....

I was a "Graphic Technician". This was just a fancy name for a traffic sign maker. I made this sign from trashed material. I was 15 or 16 years old then.
