I am Chris Sturdivant, the Atlanta Signpainter

I'm a traditional sign painter based in Atlanta, GA, specializing in hand lettering, gold leaf gilding, and time-tested techniques that create lasting, beautiful work — with clients across the US and beyond.

My love for lettering started young — sketching race car numbers at Dixie Speedway in Woodstock, GA, more interested in the shapes and flow of the lettering than the race itself. That obsession followed me through high school, college, and beyond — from my art teacher's type books to the lettering on old buildings and graffiti-covered bridges around Atlanta.

In 2015, it got serious. I started collecting books, studying styles, and practicing obsessively. Over the years I've had the privilege of learning alongside some talented and seasoned sign painters — experiences that have shaped my technique and deepened my craft.

I use only traditional methods to achieve the most beautiful, lasting results for my clients — and I'm always learning. I can't wait to see where the brush leads.
