What else can I do with the laser?
I’ve always been fascinated by neon signs. They combine light and lettering – two of my favorite things – to produce something that’s both beautiful and functional. Ultimately, I’d like to learn how to work in neon. Until then, I found a way to use the laser and paint to create a piece that simulates the look of a neon sign. For inspiration, I chose a landmark ice cream stop in New Castle, Delaware.
