The Love Sign is a multiple edition artwork first produced in 2003. Some 500 of them were produced before the last ones rolled off the press in 2019. 

Today, Love Signs can be found hanging out in bedrooms and boardrooms from Noosa to New York, Paddo to Paris. If you have one, I’d love to hear/see! Drop me a line or send me a pic : )

What’s Love got to do with it?

The Love Sign springs from a love of the iconography and vernacular of road signs. It’s also a response to the sometimes heartless world in which we live.

Religious and corporate marks aside, there’s perhaps no symbol more recognisable than the octagonal red “STOP” sign. Expletives deleted, there’s perhaps no word more powerful and evocative than “LOVE”.
