I didn't really know where to put this, but I wanted to share it with you guys and give the artist some love. My wife wanted to get me a personalized Tech sign for our anniversary, and I put a lot of thought into what I wanted to get. I asked for a hybrid of the new La. Tech logo with the bulldog in the state picture that Dawg06 has posted (thanks for letting me use it, 06; hope you'll find the sign is nice).
It's not quite finished yet, but the artist sent me an update on where it is, and it looks amazing! His name is Michael Dixon; he's based out of New Orleans, and I saw his work near Jackson Square on a recent trip there. He does all kinds of personalized signs, and his work is very, very good.
