BALTIMORE

“As far as Robert Merrell is concerned, the business of sign painting just gets better and better. "I haven't been slow since 1990,"He shrugs. Merrell jumpstarted his career as a freelance sign painter while earning his BFA in graphic design from MICA in 1988. Within a few years, he launched Merrell Designs, and soon his signs lined nearly every bar in Canton Square and Fells Point. His tireless work ethic, attention to detail, eye catching layouts, and laid-back attitude built him a solid reputation.

Thirty years later, Bob's signs are still present, and he is gaining even more wall work. Some of his patrons include the Baltimore Orioles, the Baltimore Ravens, Johns Hopkins University, the Maryland Zoo in Baltimore, and Lexington Market to name a few.”
