Andrew updated the house numbers for our circa 1900 Victorian in San Francisco to a beautiful golf leaf design that was typical of the time period. It was super easy to coordinate with him, he arrived on time, and did a great job. I'd highly recommend! read more

I met Andrew at the Urban Air Market in Hayes Valley - It was kind of a dream come true - we've needed a new sidewalk sign for years and finding the right person was proving a challenge. Andrew was easy to talk to, has great style and skill and the BEST follow-through of any one I've worked with. He was in touch with me right away, did applicable research and even tried to work with our design, though in the end we went with his - you know, let the Pro do what they're best at, right? He delivered in a timely manner and never once made us come to him, which, when you're busy, is a really great bonus. We need a new exterior and hanging sign - as soon as we're ready we'll be contacting Andrew again. read more

Gentleman Scholar Signs - The best. I'm so happy with my new sign. - Signmaking Near Me

I am working on a short film, and needed some old school, hand made beauty added to the Title card for the film. I didn't want to use any traditional fonts, as the nature of the films theme is about hand made art, in this case in the digital realm. I contacted Gentleman Scholar signs, and described the project. It was important to me (as an artist) that I hire a quality artist and give them some thematic goals, and then offer complete freedom in choice of execution. Andrew took on the project one morning, worked on another previously booked job that day, and got to work that night. The next day I had 4-5 different hand painted signs done on paper delivered mid day the next day. In just over 24 hours, and with a budgeted two hours of work, I got exactly what I needed. I took the signs and had my designer digitize them, and with a few digital flourishes I had a movie Title still of extreme beauty--- the hand painted effect, finished digitally, gave the look of an authentic image. It was exactly what I wanted-- up to date digital quality work that could never have been accomplished with rigid, impersonal fonts. Sign painting remains a powerful visual art form that has only been enhanced by photo shop, which is why I can see how the business will continue to grow. Having hand painted work go from concept to completion in 1 day at a fair budget is why Gentlemen Scholar Signs deserves 5 stars. read more

I could not find a painter for the life of me to paint this old style medicine cabinet I had in mind. I came across gentleman scholars signs and Andrew has been a God send! He painted my little medicine cabinet project which will installed in a farmhouse and it's went from being plain the the best looking thing in the house! I have him a few ideas of what I was looking for and went above and beyond designing an old style pharmacy logo which included our family name. Andrew is a true and rare artist. The transaction was easy and I couldn't have asked for better customer service. Thanks again! We love it! read more

The other 5 star reviews have it exactly right-Andrew is a top notch service provider. He executed a very large and fairly complex 4 sign project (~$7,000. in billing), on time, on spec, congenially & professionally. His work is excellent and there were zero snags. Andrew is truly both a gentleman, and a scholar. :) Everything was done as agreed, in less time than estimated, the work gorgeous-and we could not be happier with the outcome. Andrew is conscientious without being asked to be, goes the mile, and really cares about his work. He is on your side 24/7. It just doesn't get any better than that! We would hire him again in a quick heartbeat, for he is that perfect. read more

Working with Andrew was great. He made a custom blade sign for our restaurant, Mr. Digby's. Additionally, he painted our logo on our parklet and around the interior of our restaurant. Andrew is extremely talented, responsive and fun to work with. We will use him for anything and everything art & sign related from now on! read more

Perhaps, the most talented sign painter in San Francisco. Gentleman Scholar signs is simple, efficient, and adapts to your signage needs. Apparently, Gentleman Scholar signs heard about our opening and our style of food and thought it would be a good match to his artistic design. Indeed it was. Initially reluctant at the sight of Andrew's ginger mustache and overall hipster mystique, I soon began to trust this painter after he showed impressive business acumen. He came with samples and renderings ready to go before we even discussed designs. These days, that's remarkable service. Prices were quite fair and negotiation was easy. We agreed on a menu board, bathroom door and display case. The entire project was done and cleaned in a 3 separate occasions for an hour each. I will continue to utilize the services of Gentleman Scholar Signs for all current and future sign painting. read more

I've been meaning to write a review for Andrew's work for quite a while. Here's why I chose him to paint signage on my business as opposed to the other guys and gals out there: 1. He returned my calls and emails promptly, while the other outfits dragged on and on. 2. He explained things in a way that was easy to understand. My job was a bit special, requiring painting signage on an uneven stucco wall, and Andrew took the time to explain the pros and cons of the job. 3. He committed to a reasonable schedule and stuck to it. 4. He turned out to be right in all of his recommendations. The colors came out looking brilliant and matched the Pantone scale as intended. This was no easy task given the various layers and applications that had to be done to accommodate the stucco. I recommend this gentleman wholeheartedly - his work should speak for itself, though I'm happy to add my voice. read more

I've hired Gentlemen Scholar signs for two jobs. One stand-alone sign I carry with me when I set up a stand, and another that was a special installation piece for a launch party I threw. Both have been delivered on time and as promised. In the end, Andy is great to work with and seems incapable of not putting his heart into the signs he makes. Every project I've seen him on has flair. Rock on. read more

I met Andrew a while ago and was really impressed by the detail of his work. I hired him to paint my business name on my skincare studio's door and he not only met my expectations but truly exceeded them. HIs work ethic, focus, communication skills, and genuine personality really put him in a different league. In addition he did a small "Do Not Disturb" sign that looks just brilliant. I cannot recommend him higher. read more

Andrew painted a sandwich board for my new vintage store and I am honestly BLOWN AWAY with the results. Not only was he an absolute pleasure to work with (professional, punctual, etc.), but he is also a true artist. I gave him a very rough idea of what I wanted, and he came back with something so much better than I could have ever imagined. His knowledge of fonts and colors, along with his skill and experience sets him apart from the rest. You are lucky if you get to work with this guy! Thank you Gentleman Scholar, I love my new sign! read more

Gentleman Scholar Signs - My fabulous hand-painted sandwich board by Andrew Lawrence - Signmaking Near Me

I have three identical sandwich board style signs made by Andrew at Gentleman Scholar Signs to help drive foot traffic towards my business and it works! The colors and craftsmanship are great and I wouldn't believe they were each done by hand if I hadn't seen him doing it. My signs are beautiful, sturdy, easy to store, and built to last. Thanks Andrew! read more

I discovered Andrew via Yelp and then never reached out to him until a friend referred me via Instagram. Once we engaged in my project (painting the outside of my Skeeball trailer), it was an amazing experience. Working with someone who is as passionate about their trade as Andrew is, makes you really appreciate what you're spending your money on. He went through multiple rounds of sketches and designs before we painted anything. Since we were painting a huge sign, we had to make sure it looked just right. Once we arrived on the perfect design, Andrew started painting them in his workspace and cranked it out pretty quickly. He was constantly in communication with me and making sure that I liked what he was doing. It was a pleasure working with him and I look forward to using him again for my sign painting needs. read more

Andrew was great. He painted all of the windows for my store, plus a few doors, and some great lettering on the walls. I highly recommend his work, and he's so fast!! I really appreciate his working on Sunday's when the store was closed, and after hours, it really helped me as a business!! I saw his work at BiRite Market on Divis, and was really impressed, which is why I hired him. read more

Andrew is amazing. He took our concept for a hand-lettered wall from a bunch of silly, disorganized ideas to a beautiful, well-executed creation. And he's a cool dude, too. He figured out how to do metallic lettering on our tinted windows within our budget and he made the wall of our office a beautiful focal point. Can't recommend highly enough! read more
