NEON...AS IF BY MAGIC

So, in response to my previous NEON post a friend of mine sent me a link from Daily Candy with exactly what I wanted. How strange, after all this time, in the very same week the answer pops up in the form of Neon Circus. What a coincidence.


Check out the before...



...and after...



It's exactly what I want. HOORAY!  Although not cheap, oh well. Better start saving and thinking about what I finally want my sign to say.

NEON

A few years ago now I worked in a PR agency in London as a PA. The head honcho had the coolest piece of art given to him as a wedding present by Tracey Emin based on her series of works with Neon lights. It had a heart drawn with his name and her name inside - kinda like this one for George Michael. In fact it's exactly like that.



I've since been mildly obsessed with finding a way of making my own neon sign but with my own handwriting. I mean, if Tracey Emin can do it right?

There are some more examples here from the Frieze Art Fair which just made me want one even more and some pics below (another of Tracey Emin's at the bottom). Where oh where do I find someone who can make me one? 

Ideas on a postcard. Or I could just make friends with Tracey Emin of course, not sure which is more unlikely at the moment...
