    I mentioned my work on Tildes before but held off spilling the beans on exactly what I'd done given the criminal nature of the works. I decided I'm comfortable sharing this with the world as long as it's not super closely tied to my name.

    I've gotten a couple of grants to install these and have funds for more projects in the future.

      When you showed me the last one I didn't imagine that your addition was "New New Montgomery Final". I thought your addition was the "No stopping any time" sign.

    In my old suburban neighborhood, they put up a sign printed "Stop sign ahead". It was utterly pointless in that neighbourhood, and my then-neighbour complained to the city until they removed it.

    It just made me laugh. It got me thinking about a "'Stop sign ahead' sign ahead" sign, and how far this concept could be lampooned.

    I wish I had your skills then. Maybe I could have done it. Though I think my neighbour would've been none-too-thrilled.

    I love it! I love my home state and always will, but its copious amount of regulatory stupidity sometimes drove me nuts. (Now I live in another state that has just as bad/much regulatory stupidity, but at least I chose to live here haha.)

    And plus, those are pure genius. I'm looking forward to continued criminal works artistic displays!
